Road Work On 561 To Impact Turning In Cherry Hill: Officials

CHERRY HILL, NJ — The ongoing road work on Haddonfield-Berlin Road (561) will impact turning in Cherry Hill for two days, Camden County officials announced.

Drivers attempting to enter and exit the Brookfield neighborhood of Cherry Hill will be limited to right turns only on Wednesday and Thursday, officials said. Crews are repaving the inside lanes of the road between I-295 and Kresson Road.

“This is a major project that will significantly improve the drivability of the roadway and ease the flow of traffic in several locations,” Camden County Freeholder Susan Shin Angulo, liaison to the Department of Public Works, said. “We thank the public for its patience as the upgrades interrupt some routes and commutes. As always, we want to remind motorists to be extra vigilant when driving near crews and construction vehicles.”

Traffic remains open in both directions of the roadway, but paving of the inside lanes will restrict the ability of drivers to cross from one side of the road to the other. Drivers attempting to make a left turn onto Haddonfield-Berlin Road from Tavistock Road to Ashbrook Road will instead be directed to turn right and make a U-turn beyond the location of crews and equipment.

Drivers traveling toward Haddonfield and attempting to turn left between Ashbrook Road and Tavistock Road will also be directed to continue beyond the location of crews in order to make a U-turn and access the other side of the road.

Paving on the inside lanes of the roadway is expected to be completed by the end of work hours on Thursday, Aug. 29. Timing is dependent on weather and is subject to change.
