Later this summer, a $2.8 million reconstruction project will commence on Chew Road in Waterford Township. The infrastructure investment will focus on repaving and reconstructing Chew Road from Pestletown Road to the Atlantic County border near Sandy Causeway Road.

“This project is a major undertaking but a necessary one to improving the safety and efficiency of our roadways for our residents and visitors,” said Commissioner Al Dyer, liaison to the Department of Public Works. “Each year, the Board of Commissioners invests millions of dollars into our county infrastructure to ensure that it is in the best shape possible for years to come.”

The Camden County Department of Public Works maintains over 1,200 miles of county roadway and 50 bridges. They are committed to enhancing safety for motorists and pedestrians through various highway construction projects and road maintenance activities such as pothole repairs, street sweeping, grass cutting, and storm drainage upkeep. The Public Works Department operates out of Lindenwold with personnel available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
