(Lindenwold, NJ) – The Board of Commissioners broke ground on a $7.5 million investment to reconstruct 2.1-mile length of Kresson Road from Browning Lane to Cropwell Road. The project is anticipated to be completed by the end of August 2026. This thoroughfare will be fully reconstructed, but traffic flow will be maintained during the construction process throughout the length of the roadway.
“Kresson Road is one of Cherry Hill Township’s most heavily traveled roadways, and this investment will greatly improve safety, accessibility, and the overall driving experience for residents, pedestrians, and commuters alike.” said Commissioner Al Dyer, liaison to the Department of Public Works. “We ask that drivers for their patience during the construction period, as the short-term inconvenience will lead to long-term infrastructure improvements for our community.”
This portion of Kresson Road connects schools, houses of worship and a variety of other stakeholder institutions throughout Cherry Hill including the Jewish Community Center at the intersection of Kresson and Springdale Roads.
Project highlights include:
- Roadway repaving
- Replacement of stormwater pipes
- Upgrades to traffic signals
- Pedestrian improvements (including the addition of sidewalks and ADA curb ramps)
- Improved traffic striping and signage
- Installation of dedicated bike lanes
Cherry Hill Mayor, David Fleisher, applauded the investment and thanked the Camden County Commissioners for the reconstruction of Kresson Road.
“With almost 80,000 residents and another 100,000 who visit Cherry Hill daily, it is critical that we invest in our roads and neighborhoods. This project – which adds to the 43 miles of township roads we have paved over the last two years – is important to our residents. Thank you to Camden County for their partnership.”
Assemblywoman Melinda Kane noted that the roadway construction will help traffic flow throughout the township.
“As a long time Cherry Hill resident, I recognize the important role that maintained infrastructure plays for our community,” Kane said. “This corridor is one of the busiest in the county and our legislative district, that said, a full reconstruction of Kresson will be tremendous asset for everyone who travels the area.”
