Kresson Gibbsboro Road under construction until further notice

Camden County Freeholder Board’s Department of Public Works will conduct a multi-day emergency road work project on sections of Kresson Gibbsboro Road in Voorhees.

To facilitate the repairs, the roadway will be closed to through traffic from Cooper Road to Haddonfield Berlin Road (CR 561) from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays, starting March 19 until sometime during the week of March 24. A detour route has been posted.

The exact timing of the project is dependent upon weather and other factors. Motorists should be cognizant of the project and find alternative routes around the area of construction.

“The Board of Freeholders made a commitment to start paving our roadways as soon as possible because of the severity of the winter months and the toll it has taken on our streets,” said Freeholder Ian Leonard, liaison to the CCDPW. “There will be some inconvenience to the motoring public for this mill and overlay, but these sections of Kresson Gibbsboro Road must be fully reconstructed.”

In addition to a variety of repaving projects throughout the county public works is still out patching thousands of potholes with several crews working throughout the area. Furthermore, the county is still operating a pothole-filling machine called the Pothole Killer.

“These breaks in the pavement can create safety hazards and can cause damage to vehicles, so motorists are urged to report any pothole they observe on county roads,” Leonard explained. “We need motorists to become engaged in this effort to make Camden County a better place to live and drive throughout our 1,200 lane miles of highway.”

Camden County is aggressive about locating and repairing potholes on all county maintained roads. The board asks residents to report road hazards they encounter to the Camden County Public Works Hotline, at (856) 566–2980. The number is answered 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
