Route 70 Lane Closure Coming To Cherry Hill Next Week

CHERRY HILL, NJ — Another traffic shift is coming up next week in Cherry Hill as the state continues the Route 70 reconstruction that's significantly impacted local residents and businesses.

The left-turn lane from Route 70 West into Barclay Farms Shopping Center will be closed from Monday, Nov. 11, to Friday, Nov. 15. The NJ Department of Transportation will be completing work on the roadway's turn lanes.

Drivers should prepare to follow detours.

During the state-funded project, NJDOT will reconstruct 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 lane closures and shifts in traffic patterns that have impacted the township's business districts and adjoining neighborhoods.

The community can 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.
