A construction project on almost nine miles of Route 70 in Camden and Burlington counties is adding commuting time and frustration for those driving through it.
The Route 70 corridor improvement includes milling and repaving, brining sidewalks up to ADA compliance, improving drainage and other much-needed upgrades.
Linda Popovsky commutes to Philadelphia through the construction zone from her Marlton home every day. "They’re trying to make the road better, so, for me, making it wider and better to drive on, then fine, we have to deal with it." She quickly changed her tune when she was told NJDOT’s estimated completion date isn’t until May of 2026. "I thought it was only going to take until, maybe, September. Oh my God, that’s ridiculous," Popovsky remarked.
Martha Wright heads up the group Preserve Barclay, a development impacted by the project. She says she would like to see better communication, like a reverse 911. "So, if you got an alert at 6:30 a.m. that said two westbound lanes would be closing, you would know and, like it or not, take another route or add thirty minutes to your commute."NJDOT says it’s met with the community throughout the project to get feedback and keep people informed.
