The Camden County Department of Public Works has completed roadway and streetscape improvements at the intersection of Potter (CR 644) and Ellis (CR 561) Streets in Haddonfield.
Members of the Freeholder Board, Haddonfield Mayor Tish Colombi and Cherry Hill Mayor Bernie Platt will mark the official reopening of the roadway in a special program on Tuesday, Dec. 27 at 11 a.m. in the park that was created at the intersection.
“We are proud that this project was completed early and under budget,” said Freeholder Ian Leonard, liaison to the Camden County Department of Public Works. “This project benefits residents in both Haddonfield Borough and Cherry Hill Township due to its location at the border of the two municipalities.”
The $2.3 million project included the installation of a new traffic signal, repaving of intersection approaches and the construction of new turning lanes. New curbing with ADA compliant curb cuts and ramps were installed, along with new storm water grates and streetscape improvements.
“We appreciated everyone’s patience and caution while we made these improvements,” Leonard said. “We understand that detours and traffic delays may have been an annoyance, but I am sure that everyone will agree the finished project was worth the inconvenience.”
“The County is happy to work closely with municipalities to complete this much-needed roadwork projects,” Freeholder Director Louis Cappelli, Jr. said.

Camden County’s Department of Public Works is dedicated to making our area safer for motorists and pedestrians through county highway construction projects, snow removal and road maintenance, including pothole repairs, street sweeping, grass cutting and storm drainage upkeep.
