Month-Long Closure Of Kings Highway Coming Soon As Roadwork Continues

CAMDEN COUNTY, NJ — A section of Kings Highway will be closed 24/7 for about a month as significant work on the roadway continues.

Starting Wednesday, there will be a one-way closure on Kings Highway between 1st and 3rd avenues. The closure will last four weeks, according to Camden County officials.

"While this closure may cause some disruptions to the flow of traffic, it is an important step in the overall revitalization project on Kings Highway," said County Commissioner Al Dyer, liaison to the Department of Public Works.

Drivers should find alternate routes and slow down as they approach the work area.

The closure is part of the county's $10.7 million Kings Highway improvement project, which broke ground last fall. The project is designed to make Kings Highway safer and more easily navigable for drivers, cyclists and pedestrians.

The impacted area stretches from Market Street to Hopkins Road and encompasses parts of Haddon Heights, Audubon and Mount Ephraim.

The project, which broke ground in September, has been projected to take a little over a year to complete.
