Several roadwork projects are scheduled to take place throughout Camden County from December 1 to December 5, potentially impacting travel in multiple municipalities.
Commissioner Al Dyer, liaison to the Department of Public Works, advised drivers to plan ahead and use 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.”
