The 7th Street Bridge in Camden will be closed Wednesday afternoon due to water main repairs. The bridge is expected to reopen around 9 p.m., with members of the Department of Public Works redirecting traffic to the 10th Street Bridge.

“We are working to resolve the situation swiftly so we can reopen this thoroughfare and avoid any delays,” said Commissioner Al Dyer, liaison to the Department of Public Works. “But for the time being we recommend avoiding the area and taking alternate routes.”

The Camden County Department of Public Works is responsible for maintaining over 1,200 miles of county roadway, 50 bridges, and several dams. They are dedicated to making the area safer for motorists and pedestrians through county highway construction projects and road maintenance, including pothole repairs, street sweeping, grass cutting, and storm drainage upkeep. The Public Works Department is located in Lindenwold where personnel are on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week to serve the residents of Camden County.
