Kings Highway Traffic Control notice

Please be advised that starting at 7:00 AM, Monday, March 17, 2025 (weather permitting), there will be a one-way daytime closure of Kings Highway, between 3rd Avenue and Edgewood Avenue, for roadway milling and paving operations. Northbound thru-traffic (driving towards Haddonfield) will be detoured around the work zone. Southbound thru-traffic (driving towards Mount Ephraim) will remain on Kings Highway. A traffic control plan is attached.

On Tuesday, March 18th starting at 7:00 AM, there will be a one-way daytime closure of Kings Highway, between White Horse Pike and Edgewood Avenue, for continued roadway milling and paving operations. Northbound thru-traffic (driving towards Haddonfield) will be detoured around the work zone. Southbound thru-traffic (driving towards Mount Ephraim) will remain on Kings Highway. A traffic control plan is attached.

Crews will continue working in the work area without detours for Wednesday (March 19th) and Thursday (March 20th) in preparation for the planned traffic switch on Kings Highway between Edgewood Avenue and West Atlantic Avenue to the newly paved side of the roadway.

As of right now, the weather forecast for Monday (3/17) is calling for rain most of the day. If the forecast holds and the contractor is unable to work on Monday (3/17), all work described above will be postponed by one-day.

Please be advised that starting TODAY, March 13, 2025, there will be a one-way closure of Kings Highway, between Amherst Road and White Horse Pike, for sanitary sewer removal and replacement. Southbound thru-traffic (driving towards White Horse Pike) will be detoured around the work zone using Amherst Road and Harvard Road. Northbound thru-traffic (driving towards Haddonfield) will be maintained. The traffic control plan is attached for your reference.

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 three [3] weeks. Access for residents, emergency vehicles, St. Rose School, and local traffic will be maintained.

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.
