The Route 42 southbound ramp to Route 295 southbound, in Bellmawr, will be closed overnight one day next week.
Drivers who use Route 295–especially at night–will need to keep an eye out for ramp closures in Gloucester and Camden counties next week. The New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) announced they’d be periodically shutting on- and off-ramps to accommodate the ongoing Route 295 resurfacing. All work is weather-dependent. NJDOT is rehabbing 295 in Barrington, Bellmawr, Cherry Hill, Haddon Heights, Haddonfield, Lawnside and Tavistock in Camden County and West Deptford and Westville in Gloucester County. The project also includes replacing five I-295 bridge decks. Construction began in June 2009 and is scheduled for completion in summer 2012. Motorists are encouraged to check the project website at state.nj.us/transportation/commuter/…
