(Lindenwold, NJ) – Freeholder Barbara Holcomb has been notified by the New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) that there will be a daytime closure of the ramp from Route 130 southbound to the Betsy Ross Bridge/Route 90 westbound. There will also be a long-term closure of the ramp from Route 130 northbound to the Betsy Ross Bridge/Route 90 westbound as a concrete repair project advances in Pennsauken.
