The $6.9 million project that widened Berlin-Cross Keys Road in Pine Hill, Gloucester Township, and Winslow Township has been completed, with the major thoroughfare expected to reopen late Friday afternoon. This project expanded a 1.25-mile stretch of Berlin Cross Keys Road to two lanes in either direction with a center turning lane. The widening covers the area between the Camden County Technical School campus at 343 Berlin-Cross Keys Road (CR 689) to Turnersville Road (CR 688).

“This project has been a long time in the making, and we are thrilled to announce that it is finished, and the regular flow of traffic can now resume,” said Commissioner Al Dyer, liaison to the county Department of Public Works. “We know that this project was a major disruption for motorists, pedestrians and cyclists traveling through the area, but it was a worthwhile investment. The goal of widening this road was to increase safety and efficiency for travelers and I believe we have accomplished that.”

The Camden County Department of Public Works is responsible for maintaining over 1,200 miles of county roadway and 61 bridges. 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.
