Park Blvd. Closure Delayed In Cherry Hill Due To Rain

CHERRY HILL, NJ — The planned closure of Park Boulevard in Cherry Hill for emergency roadwork has been delayed because of rain.

Park Boulevard was originally going to be closed on Wednesday as Camden County continues repairing a sinkhole on the roadway. But on Tuesday, officials announced the work would be delayed.

The road will instead be closed on Thursday and Friday. There will be a hard closure between Grove Street and Curtis Avenue on both days.

Park Boulevard will reopen once work is completed on each day.

During the construction, only local traffic will be allowed to access Park Boulevard at Kings Highway.

The sinkhole was caused by a storm drain failure. Camden County began the emergency roadwork earlier this week.

Here's where Park Boulevard will be closed:

The work has no relation to the ongoing township project in the area, the municipal government said Tuesday in an advisory.

"The township is working with the county to minimize the impact on local residents," the township said.
