There are no public meetings scheduled at this time. Public involvement is an important component of all New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) projects. The project limits of the Route 70, Route 38 to Cooper Avenue project include Pennsauken and Cherry Hill Townships in Camden County and Evesham Township in Burlington County.

Throughout the project, NJDOT provided opportunities for local and county officials, stakeholders, local business owners, and the general public to learn more about the project and to provide input to the project team. This included four Public Information Centers (PICs) and three local officials meetings. NJDOT will continue to provide updates to the public during the Construction phase.
