Pair Of Events To Slow Traffic In Cherry Hill This Weekend

CHERRY HILL, NJ — A pair of events will impact traffic in Cherry Hill this weekend, police said. The annual Cherry Bowl swim tournament is at the Downs Farm Swim Club on Saturday, July 27, 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. As a result, there will be a large amount of traffic in area neighborhoods. There will be parking restrictions along portions of Hillside Drive, Keats Place, Longfellow Drive and Chaucer Drive.

Hillside Drive will be closed between Keats Place and Longfellow Drive. Police will be at Route 561 and Morris Drive to assist with crossing anyone who is walking from the Woodcrest development, and officers will be circulating through the area neighborhoods throughout the day.

The Families Behind The Badge (formerly Irish Pub Tour de Shore) Children's Benefit Bike Ride passes through Cherry Hill on Sunday, July 28, 7 a.m. to 8 a.m. Over 2,500 bicyclists will be using Kresson Road coming in from Haddonfield, turning onto Springdale Road and then crossing Evesham Road into Voorhees.

Police will be at larger intersections along Kresson Road and Springdale Road temporarily holding cross-traffic in order to move the large groups of bicyclists through quickly and safely.

Drivers should use extra caution in these locations, avoid the areas and plan alternate routes if possible.
