The Camden County Department of Public Works has been actively working to remove road hazards blocking county roadways since the storms hit and are continuing to work as quickly as possible to restore access to all major thoroughfares.

After hours of work, Kresson Road in Voorhees reopened fully this morning. Closures remain in place along Central Avenue in Winslow and Warwick Road in Haddonfield, according to county officials.

“We want to thank our residents for their patience and understanding as we continue to get these areas cleared and safe for motorists,” Camden County Freeholder Barbara Holcomb, liaison to the Department of Public Works, said. “Downed trees and broken limbs are often intertwined with active power lines which have to be de-energized by utility providers before crews can safely remove the debris from the roadway. Our crews will continue working throughout the day to reopen all county roadways which have been affected as soon as possible.”
