Another Route 70 Closure Coming As State Project Continues

CHERRY HILL, NJ — Another Cherry Hill road closure from the state's Route 70 project is coming up.

The Route 70 intersection of Edison and Georgia avenues will be closed next week from Wednesday to Friday.

During that time, Edison Avenue will be closed to thru-traffic at Jefferson Avenue as New Jersey American Water completes infrastructural improvements. The intersection is a block away from Route 70.

Edison and Georgia avenues both connect at Route 70. See maps below:

Be prepared to follow detours.

During the state-funded project, the New Jersey Department of Transportation is reconstructing nearly 9 miles of Route 70 between Route 38 in Pennsauken and Cooper Avenue in Evesham. Most of that portion of the roadway runs through Cherry Hill.

Work includes technical upgrades to traffic lights and improving drainage and pedestrian safety along Route 70. NJDOT expects construction to last until early 2027.

The project has required road closures and shifts in traffic patterns that have impacted the township's business districts and adjoining neighborhoods.

Stay up-to-date on Route 70 construction by visiting the project's webpage and following NJDOT on Facebook and X — formerly known as Twitter. The state agency also issues construction notices and traffic advisories that are also shared with local officials in impacted municipalities.
