Several road construction projects are scheduled to take place across Camden County from December 1 to December 5. The work will involve both public utilities and private contractors, affecting various townships and municipalities in the area.
Commissioner Al Dyer, liaison to the Department of Public Works, advised drivers to prepare for potential delays. “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.”
