Starting Friday night, July 30, NJDOT will shift three I-295 northbound lanes to the right, two southbound lanes to the left and one southbound lane will be maintained on the northbound side between Route 168 in Mount Ephraim and Route 561 in Cherry Hill. The work zone will be located on the right (western) portion of the southbound highway. This traffic pattern is expected to be in place by Monday morning and remain in place until December.

This work is part of a $69 million effort to rehabilitate I-295 in Barrington, Bellmawr, Cherry Hill, Haddon Heights, Haddonfield, Lawnside and Tavistock in Camden County and West Deptford and Westville in Gloucester County. The existing roadway had become seriously deteriorated and was in need of a complete rehabilitation. The federally-funded project is also replacing five bridge decks along I-295.

Construction is scheduled for completion in summer 2012.

Fisherman\’s Prayer

God Grant that I may live to Fish

For another shining day,

But when my final cast is made

I then most humbly pray

When nestled in you landing net

You\’ll smile at me and judge

That I\’m good enough to keep.

Our Scotty Boy,

We will remember you always for your child like wonder, your love of nature and your big, beautiful smile, but most of all, for your huge heart and for all of the love. You will always be with us.
