Brace Road Work Starts Monday, Will Shut Down Highway

Get set for detours next week—repairs on Brace Road will shut down nearly the entire stretch of the road between Berlin Road and Bowood Drive starting Monday, township officials said.

Brace will shut down between 9 p.m. and 6 a.m. daily for the work, which is expected to take until around July 30 to complete, officials said.

Drivers should plan on taking alternate routes through the duration of the work.

State officials announced the plan to rebuild 1.5 miles of Brace Road earlier this year, as part of a $9.3 million, three-county project.

Nearly the entire stretch of the road, from Haddonfield-Berlin Road up to the Kings Highway intersection, will be milled and repaved, and new ADA-compliant curb ramps will be installed along the length of the road, state officials said.

Other roads included in the project are:

• Route 42 in both directions from near the Atlantic City Expressway entrance ramp in Washington Township (near milepost 6.2) to the bridge over the New Jersey Turnpike in Deptford (milepost 13.1).
• Route 73 northbound from Howard Boulevard (milepost 26.8) in Mount Laurel to just south of the interchange with Route 41 (milepost 28.7) in Maple Shade.
• Route 90 westbound from the Route 73 interchange (milepost 3.13) in Cinnaminson to just east of Route 130 (milepost 2.25) in Pennsauken.
• Route 168 in both directions from just north of Benigno Boulevard (milepost 6.86) to Anderson Avenue (milepost 7.33) in Bellmawr and from West High Street (milepost 7.56) in Haddon Heights through Mount Ephraim to Merchant Street (milepost 8.65) in Audubon.
