Major Road Construction Projects Set to Begin in Cherry Hill

Camden County has initiated a significant 1 million infrastructure project aimed at revitalizing its aging roads and bridges, a move recognized as essential in one of the oldest regions in New Jersey. Announced last month, the project represents a major investment in the county’s infrastructure, which includes over 1,200 lane miles that require ongoing maintenance and preservation.

In the Cherry Hill area, specific improvements are scheduled for the years 2025 and 2026, with a total of six enhancement projects planned. Among these, a million renovation of Springdale Road and a .5 million upgrade of Kresson Road are notable highlights. Camden County officials assert that these projects will have a profound impact on local residents, enhancing safety and accessibility for drivers and pedestrians alike.

Camden County Commissioner Al Dyer emphasized the importance of this investment, noting that it will serve drivers, pedestrians, and business owners throughout the region. The anticipated reconstruction efforts will not only focus on road repair but also aim to create safer crossings and travel lanes for pedestrians, integrating enhancements that comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act.

As the projects move forward over the next two years, officials have acknowledged that residents may experience short-term inconveniences related to construction activities. However, they believe that the long-term benefits of improved infrastructure will greatly outweigh any temporary disruptions. The improvements are expected to provide safer travel conditions and better overall functionality in transportation networks within the county.

A detailed list of the roads and intersections slated for improvement reveals the scope of the initiative. In 2025, projects will include work on Park Boulevard between Grove Street and Park Drive, along with further enhancements on Kresson Road. In 2026, Springdale Road will undergo significant renovations, as will Kenilworth Avenue and the Five Points intersection of Evesham Road, Route 561, and Somerdale Road, among others.

With a proactive approach to infrastructure investment, Camden County is poised to address the challenges of its aging systems while also enhancing the quality of life for its residents and visitors. Such comprehensive projects signal a commitment to fostering a more efficient and accessible transportation environment in one of New Jersey’s historic counties.
