Kings Highway Traffic Control notice

Please be advised that due to external circumstances, the paving work originally planned for Kings Highway on Wednesday, July 15 and Thursday, July 16 has been rescheduled to Thursday, July 16 and Friday, July 17. Therefore, Kings Highway Segment 4 will be open to two-way traffic on Wednesday, July 15. The closure will go back into effect on Thursday, July 17.

As always, access will be maintained for residents, businesses, school buses, and emergency vehicles.

Please be advised that starting on Monday, July 14th, 2025, South State will be returning to Segment 4 on Kings Highway between White Horse Pike and Hopkins Road in Mount Ephraim to complete the roadway reconstruction work. This work will include milling on Monday, July 14, 2025 and Tuesday, July 15, 2025 and asphalt work on Wednesday, July 16, 2025 and Thursday, July 17, 2025.  

There will be a two-way detour in place starting Monday, July 14th, 2025. Eastbound traffic will be detoured along Station Avenue. Westbound traffic will be detoured along Crystal Lake Avenue, Paris Avenue, Amherst Road and Harvard Road. Please note that the detour will only be in place during working hours.  In speaking with South State, work is anticipated to be complete by Friday, July 18, 2025, weather permitting.  

As always, access will be maintained for residents, businesses, school buses, and emergency vehicles.

Please be advised that starting on Wednesday, May 7, 2025, there will be a one-way closure of Kings Highway, between 3rd Avenue and 1st Avenue. South State will be continuing with the sanitary sewer removal and replacement in this area. Northbound thru traffic (driving towards Haddonfield) will be detoured around the work zone. Southbound thru traffic (driving towards White Horse Pike) will be maintained. The traffic control plan can be viewed below.

Due to the nature of the work and limited roadway width, this closure will need to be in place 24/7 until work is completed. In discussing with the contractor, work is anticipated to take four (4) weeks. Access for residents, emergency vehicles, St. Rose School, and local traffic will be maintained at all times.

If you have any questions or need any further information, please contact Kyle Ebersole, Camden County Assistant Engineer, 856-566-2968 or Paul Nolan, Colliers Engineering, 732-704-5931. We apologize for any inconvenience this work may cause and appreciate your patience and understanding.
