Emergency management and road department chiefs reported no major issues across Gloucester, Salem and Camden counties on Sunday morning. Watch video
Work is under way to clear roadways across South Jersey following the blizzard that swept through the state, local officials reported Sunday morning.
Gloucester County officials just reported that Tomlin Station Road in Harrison Township has been reopened after crews cleared snow drifts. Officials posted images of the clearing effort on Facebook.
Oldmans Creek Road is closed by 4-foot snow drifts, emergency management officials report. That road runs through Woolwich and Logan townships.
Apart from drifting snow still blocking a handful of county roads, no other issues were reported across Gloucester County this morning.
In addition to Oldmans Creek and Tomlin Station, the following roads are closed by drifting snow. Some may be opening up shortly:
- Monroeville Road from High Street and Route 538 in Woolwich
- Route 538 at Patsy and Russell Mill in Woolwich
- Heritage Road in Mantua
In Salem County, officials reported no unusual events related to the storm.
"Things are pretty much getting back to normal," reported Scott Haines, director of Salem County Emergency Services. "Our road crews are out working hard to get things cleared up."
About 95 percent of county roads are plowed and open, Salem County officials reported by mid-day Sunday. Major snow drifts caused considerable issues Saturday evening, but Sunday's favorable wind conditions allowed plow crews to remove the drifts, officials said.
In Camden County, officials reported ongoing efforts to clear roads utilizing about 100 trucks.
"In many places throughout Camden County our crews made great progress getting roads down to blacktop, but there is still plenty of work to be done," reported Freeholder Susan Shin Angulo. "At this time we are still asking residents to stay off the roads and relax at their homes."
No serious incidents were reported in the county Sunday morning.
"The 911 dispatch center is fairly quiet, but we are still getting some calls for stranded vehicles," the freeholder said.
Reminder: If you see a problem on a county road, please call our 24-hour hotline at (856) 566-2980 to report it to the DPW.
