CHERRY HILL, N.J. (CBS) -- Cherry Hill's new mayor is criticizing the New Jersey Department of Transportation claiming the agency is not communicating lane shifts and closures during the Route 70 construction project.

But Mayor Dave Fleisher said construction has not been smooth, saying New Jersey DOT is not notifying small businesses and surrounding communities about construction changes resulting from the project.
