Downed power lines have caused shutdowns on parts of Route 73 and Fellowship Road in Mount Laurel.
Traffic Impact
The closure of Route 73 has led to significant traffic delays, affecting various routes including nearby interchanges on the New Jersey Turnpike and Interstate 295.
Cause of the Closure
A single-vehicle crash resulted in a downed utility pole that felled power lines onto the main roads, which necessitated the closure of Route 73.
Expected Resumption
Repairs are estimated to be completed by 7 a.m. Friday, though traffic disruptions may continue longer.
Police Statement
Local law enforcement declared that no impairment or criminality is suspected in the crash that led to the road closures.
Alternate Routes
Northbound traffic on Route 73 is diverted, and several southbound routes also face restrictions, encouraging motorists to seek alternative paths.
