(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.

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.”

Hegseth meets with South Korean counterpart along DMZ, Ukraine receives more U.S.-made Patriot systems, and need for support in military communities grow as government shutdown continues.
1. U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth visited the Demilitarized Zone separating the two Koreas on Monday as he began a two-day visit to ally South Korea for security talks. Hegseth and South Korean Defense Minister Ahn Gyu-back received a briefing from military officials at Observation Post Ouellette, a site near the military demarcation line that past U.S. presidents, including Donald Trump during his first term in 2019, had visited to peer across the border into North Korea and meet with American soldiers. Hegseth and Ahn also visited the Panmunjom border village, where an armistice was signed to pause the 1950-53 Korean War. Ahn’s ministry said the visit “reaffirmed the firm combined defense posture and close coordination” between the allies. Hegseth did not mention North Korea, which has ignored Washington and Seoul’s calls for dialogue in recent years while accelerating the expansion of its nuclear weapons and missile programs.
