Several roadwork projects are scheduled to take place across Camden County from February 2 to February 6. The work will affect areas in Camden, Pennsauken, and Pine Hill.
Commissioner Al Dyer, liaison to the Department of Public Works, advised motorists: “Motorists should plan ahead to take alternate routes and give themselves plenty of time to get to their destinations. Also, remember that when you’re traveling through a construction area, please slow down and stay alert for crew members and debris.”
In Camden, PSE&G crews will be working on Federal Street and River Avenue from Monday through Friday between 8 a.m. and 2 p.m. A lane shift will occur on Federal Street between River Avenue and 16th Street, while River Avenue will be fully closed between East State Street and Federal Street. On Friday, February 6, PSE&G will also work on Terrace Avenue from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., resulting in a partial eastbound closure between Fremont Avenue in Camden and Highland Avenue in Pennsauken.
Pennsauken will see related impacts as the Terrace Avenue project continues into its jurisdiction during the same hours.
In Pine Hill, crews are set to work on West Branch Avenue from Monday through Friday between 7 a.m. and 3:30 p.m., causing a partial eastbound closure between Blackwood-Clementon Road and Erial Road.
