GTPD Traffic- Icy Roadways Causing Numerous Non Essential Drivers To Become Stuck- STAY HOME

Gloucester Township Police, and area police departments, have received an influx of call for service for vehicles stuck on the icy roadways, as the weather has changed from snow to sleet, and possibly icy rain later.

New Jersey State, Camden County, and Gloucester Township Public Works crews are actively working to clear and treat roadways, but unnecessary traffic is making it difficult for plows and salt trucks to do their jobs safely and efficiently.

If you’re a non essential driver, please STAY HOME and STAY OFF THE ROADS until the storm passes and the roads have been properly treated.

Thank you.

Camden County Emergency Operations Center Has Been Activated in Response to Severe Winter Storm

The Camden County Office of Emergency Management has activated the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) in response to Sunday’s severe winter storm.

“The EOC functions as our nerve center throughout the storm, and it will be where we will allocate assets wherever they may be needed across Camden County,” said Commissioner Jonathan Young, liaison to the Camden County Department of Public Safety. “We remain in constant communication with our state and local partners to ensure that our residents are safe throughout the duration of this storm.”

Camden County’s Department of Public Works and Camden County Parks Department will be working throughout the storm to ensure that county roadways are passable and respond to downed trees and debris. At the public works complex in Lindenwold, more than 100 pieces of equipment are available to keep county roadways passable. When the weather becomes treacherous, personnel will be dispatched to 12 winter maintenance districts to salt and plow 1,200 lane miles of roadways across Camden County. The county’s response plan calls for crews to be dispatched only to the zones where they are needed.
