Camden County Begins Roadway Improvements

After a tough winter, Camden County is beginning a program of major road repairs and repaving initiatives that will span the rest of this year and part of 2011.
 
“This week, we began with two of the biggest road problems—Evesham Road and Cross Keys Road,” said Freeholder Ian Leonard, liaison to the Camden County Department of Public Works.  “The county is doing major infrastructure and structural work—drainage, driveway apron and handicap access improvements—not just cosmetic repairs.”
 
“Throughout the winter and spring rain and snow storms, Camden County’s Public Works Department has worked tirelessly to keep roads passable through the worst weather conditions,” said Leonard.  “Now it is time to fix the damage from all that bad weather and it will take a comprehensive plan, several million dollars and some time to do the work.”
 
“We want Camden County residents to know what is happening and will keep them updated on our website, www.camdencounty.comand in print with how we are doing,” continued Leonard.  “They can follow our work on a comprehensive location-by-location countywide map and with photos from various work sites that we will post online.  We will introduce a comprehensive plan within the next several weeks.”
 
Residents can visit the county website to sign up for email updates on the road work that will include any temporary road closings or detour information.
