Camden County Conducting Emergency Roadwork on South Park Boulevard

The Camden County Freeholder Board’s Department of Public Works is conducting emergency roadwork on South Park Boulevard in Collingswood and Haddon Township.

“The harsh winter has made it necessary for us to mill and overlay sections of West Park Boulevard instead of trying to patch holes in the pavement,” Camden County Freeholder Ian Leonard, liaison to the Camden County Department of Public Works, said. “This is one of several emergent repairs across the county in anticipation of our annual capital campaign this summer.”

A total of $1.5 million has been allocated for the reconstruction of county roads prior to the spring construction season after historically cold weather the last two winters created the need for this work, according to the Camden County Freeholder Board.

“We need motorists to become engaged in this effort to make Camden County a better place to live and drive throughout our 1,200 lane miles of highway,” Leonard said. “Over the next month we ask motorists to be aware of our work crews and give yourselves extra time to reach your destinations.”

Camden County is aggressive about locating and repairing potholes on all county maintained roads. The Freeholder Board asks residents to report road hazards they encounter to the Camden County Public Works Hotline 856-566-2980 at any time throughout the course of the week.
