CHERRY HILL, NJ - Utility and storm drainage upgrades are now complete on Route 70 in Cherry Hill, and the The New Jersey Department of Transportation is set to move onto the next phase of improvements next week.
Project plans include tree removals, new water main, curb and sidewalk installation, drainage improvements, and roadway excavation and replacement, Cherry Hill officials said in a Friday statement. Department of Transportation contractors are poised to work with Route 70 homeowners and businesses to provide daily access to the roadway. The upcoming phase is expected to take around six months to complete.
The eastbound lane of Route 70 will be shifted starting the night of June 2 to the newly-paved center lanes, township officials said. South Elton local roadways, except for Edison Avenue and Park Drive, will be closed at their intersection with Route 70, officials said.
