Several roadwork projects are scheduled to take place throughout Camden County from September 29 to October 3. The Camden County Department of Public Works will oversee these activities, which will affect multiple municipalities and require lane shifts or full road closures in certain areas.
Commissioner Al Dyer, liaison to the Department of Public Works, advised drivers to plan ahead for potential delays. “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.”
In Berlin Borough, North Park Drive will be closed between White Horse Pike and Berlin Cross Keys Road from Monday through Friday between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m.
