Crews are set to conduct roadwork on South Newton Lake Drive in Collingswood, New Jersey, resulting in a complete road closure scheduled for Monday, April 21. The work is expected to take place from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., affecting the stretch between Lees Lane and Ventnor Avenue.

"Motorists should plan ahead to take alternate routes and give themselves plenty of time to get to their destinations," advised Commissioner Al Dyer, who is the liaison to the Department of Public Works. He also cautioned drivers, stating, "Also, remember that when you’re traveling through a construction area, please slow down and stay alert for crew members and debris."

The Camden County Department of Public Works oversees the maintenance of over 1,200 miles of county roadway, 50 bridges, and several dams. Their responsibility includes making the area safer for both motorists and pedestrians through various highway construction projects and road maintenance efforts. These efforts encompass pothole repairs, street sweeping, grass cutting, and storm drainage management. The department operates out of Lindenwold and is available around the clock to address the needs of Camden County residents.
