Kings Highway Traffic Control notice

Please be advised that due to the work on Kings Highway, the Mount Ephraim polling place at 121 W. Kings Highway will be impacted tomorrow for Election Day. There will be no parking on Kings Highway due to the road work. Please park behind MEPRI or on a nearby side street. The building will be accessible from Black Horse Pike to Gloucester Ave or Mount Ephraim Avenue, and from Kings Highway or Bell Road to James Street. All other side streets to Kings Highway will be closed.

Please be advised that on Tuesday, June 10, 2025 the following work is planned:

Segment 1 (Market St. to Rt. 168) will have a 1-way detour for northbound traffic for paving taking place at Market St. Southbound traffic will be uninterrupted, but will be shifted as needed to pave both sides of the roadway.
Segment 3 (Hillside Ave. to West Atlantic Ave.) will have concrete work on curbs, sidewalks, and driveways. This work will be in a closed work zone.
Segment 4 (West Atlantic Ave. to Hopkins Rd.) will have concrete work on curbs and sidewalks. They will be working in a closed work zone. In addition, the team will be installing added manholes and sewer laterals.

Please be advised that starting on Wednesday, May 7, 2025, there will be a one-way closure of Kings Highway, between 3rd Avenue and 1st Avenue. South State will be continuing with the sanitary sewer removal and replacement in this area. Northbound thru traffic (driving towards Haddonfield) will be detoured around the work zone. Southbound thru traffic (driving towards White Horse Pike) will be maintained. The traffic control plan can be viewed below.

Due to the nature of the work and limited roadway width, this closure will need to be in place 24/7 until work is completed. In discussing with the contractor, work is anticipated to take four (4) weeks. Access for residents, emergency vehicles, St. Rose School, and local traffic will be maintained at all times.

If you have any questions or need any further information, please contact Kyle Ebersole, Camden County Assistant Engineer, 856-566-2968 or Paul Nolan, Colliers Engineering, 732-704-5931. We apologize for any inconvenience this work may cause and appreciate your patience and understanding.

Thank you for your cooperation.
