Work Begins on Grove Street in Haddonfield

The southbound lane of Grove Street is closed between Maple Avenue and Hawthorne Avenue in Haddonfield while crews demolish the concrete pavement along the shoulder of the road, county officials said Monday afternoon.

Traffic is being detoured south on Wood Lane to Hawthorne Avenue to get back to Grove Street. The northbound lane of Grove Street is open to traffic.

This project is ongoing, and drivers should be aware that there will be intermittent closures and lane changes during construction. If possible drivers should explore new routes for their daily commutes.

Road work on Grove Street will include new drainage, pedestrian improvements, concrete work and paving. Work will take place over the next two months and is funded by a $2.5 million federal highway grant.

“Grove Street is a well-traveled route between Haddonfield and Cherry Hill. If this road is part of your commute, please plan an alternate route over the next few days,” Camden County Freeholder Ian Leonard, liaison to the Camden County Department of Public Works, said. “Please be alert for traffic pattern changes, and be observant of posted instructions or directions whenever you are driving through the construction zone.”

The exact timing of the project is dependent upon the weather and other factors.
