According to Patch, several overnight road closures are scheduled over the next month in South Jersey as work continues on the Direct Connection project involving Interstate 295, Route 42, and Interstate 76. The article, written by **Josh Bakan**, says the closures are expected to affect parts of Camden and Gloucester counties and are tied to ongoing construction in the busy interchange area.
The New Jersey Department of Transportation announced that closures will take place on multiple roadways, including stretches of **I-295** and **Route 73**, with detours in place during construction hours. The work is being done at night to reduce traffic disruption, but drivers are still being urged to plan ahead, allow extra travel time, and follow posted detour routes.
The report notes that the Direct Connection project is a long-running effort designed to improve safety and traffic flow at one of South Jersey’s most heavily traveled highway junctions. As part of that effort, temporary shutdowns and lane restrictions are periodically required so crews can safely complete construction tasks.
Patch’s coverage highlights that the closures are scheduled across the coming weeks rather than as a single-day event, making it important for commuters and local residents to stay alert for changing traffic patterns. Officials recommend checking for updated travel information before heading out, especially for overnight trips through the affected corridor.
For the specific closure schedule and exact locations, readers can refer to the original Patch report by **Josh Bakan**, which details where the impacted road segments are and when the restrictions are expected to happen.
