Major Roadwork Coming To Busy Roadway In Cherry Hill: What To Know

CHERRY HILL, NJ — Major roadwork is coming to a multi-mile stretch of Kresson Road in Cherry Hill.

Later this year, the Camden County government will begin a $7.5 million project to upgrade the roadway. The work is part of the county's $161 million program to upgrade its roadways and bridges through 2026.

The Kresson Road project will span from the Turnpike Bridge to Cropwell Road, says County Commissioner Al Dyer.

Work will include traffic-signal improvements and replacing curbs, curb ramps and the existing storm sewer. The project also consists of milling, repaving and improvements to traffic signage and striping.

"The new striping plan will incorporate dedicated bike lanes along certain segments of the project," said Dyer, liaison to the county's Public Works Department.

Work is expected to run from this fall to summer 2026. But the county will try to begin in the summer, Dyer said.

The 2-mile stretch of Kresson Road includes Cherry Hill High School East, the Katz JCC and several houses of worship. Many of the side streets lead to residential neighborhoods.

County officials are coordinating with the township and Cherry Hill police while also developing plans to keep the local community informed.

The county will limit construction during higher-volume times, such as school arrivals and dismissals, Dyer says.

Most of the work will only require lane shifts. But some one-direction closures lasting about a week each will be necessary, Dyer says.

Full-road closures lasting a day or two could occur during paving.

"The County takes very seriously the need to coordinate the project impacts with all uses adjoining the project area, including residents, businesses, schools and places of worship," Dyer said. "A public outreach plan will be implemented to ensure the community is aware of project schedules and traffic impacts as they occur and are modified."
