The Camden County Board of Commissioners broke ground Monday on a $7.5 million investment to reconstruct 2.1-mile length of Kresson Road from Browning Lane to Cropwell Road.
When the project is completed (the aim is by the end of August 2026), this thoroughfare will be fully reconstructed – though traffic flow will be maintained during the construction process throughout the length of the roadway.
Commissioner Al Dyer, liaison to the Department of Public Works, said the impact will be great.
“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,” he said. “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,” he said. “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.”
