Route 70 Reopens After Flooding
The National Weather Services warns there could be more flooding this afternoon, however.
Flooding that closed Route 70 eastbound at Conestoga Drive has receded enough to allow the highway to reopen as of 10:15 a.m., Evesham Police said.
Heavy rain made for a travel headache elsewhere, as well, but floodwaters has subsided in several other spots by noon.
Marlton Parkway westbound near Tomlinson Mill Road in Evesham and Haddonfield-Berlin Road and Burnt Mill Road in Voorhees all reopened by 12:15 p.m., police said.
A flash flood warning from the National Weather Service was extended through 3:45 p.m. for the area, with the possibility of more rain through the early afternoon.
