Several road construction projects are scheduled across Camden County from February 23 to February 27. The work will impact multiple areas, including Berlin Township, Camden, Collingswood, Pine Hill, Voorhees, and Waterford Township.
Commissioner Al Dyer, liaison to the Department of Public Works, advised drivers to prepare for delays and consider alternate routes. “Motorists should plan ahead to take alternate routes and give themselves plenty of time to get to their destinations,” Dyer said. “Also, remember that when you’re traveling through a construction area, please slow down and stay alert for crew members and debris.”
