Downed Pole Closes White Horse Pike; 800 Outages In Camden County

OAKLYN, NJ — A stretch of the White Horse Pike is closed in both directions Tuesday morning because of a downed pole and wires, officials said.

The closure is by Haddon Avenue (Route 649) in Oaklyn, according to the NJ Department of Transportation.

All eastbound lanes on the White Horse Pike (Route 30) have been detoured. The westbound lanes are closed, with estimated delays of 5 to 10 minutes, NJDOT said.

It wasn't immediately clear when or how the pole came down.

About 800 homes and buildings lost power in the area at 6:48 a.m. Tuesday, according to PSE&G. Crews are on-scene, with power estimated to return at around 10 a.m. Tuesday.
