Haddon Heights receives $241,615 state grant for Wynnefield and New Jersey avenues

Haddon Heights has been awarded a $241,615 grant through New Jersey’s FY2026 Municipal Aid program for Phase II reconstruction of Wynnefield Avenue and New Jersey Avenue.

The New Jersey Department of Transportation lists the recipient as Haddon Heights Borough in Camden County. The project is identified as “Reconstruction of Wynnefield Avenue and New Jersey Avenue — Phase II” and is classified under roadway preservation.

The state funding gives the borough financial support for a specific road project. It does not, by itself, establish that construction has begun or provide a public construction schedule.

What the award means

The grant is directed toward roadway preservation and could help pay for reconstruction work on the two named avenues. The project may affect pavement conditions, access and traffic for nearby residents, commuters and businesses as work moves forward.

The grant listing does not identify a contractor, construction start date, completion date or traffic-control plan. It also does not specify the precise roadway segments to be rebuilt, the final design or whether residents would be responsible for any share of the cost.

Details about drainage, sidewalks or utility work likewise depend on the project plans. Those features are not established by the grant designation alone.

Next listed borough meeting

Haddon Heights’ 2026 public notice lists an August 18, 2026 business meeting at which formal action may be taken. The meeting schedule provides a potential point for borough action or additional information about the reconstruction project.

Borough notices state that municipal facilities, including Borough Hall, were under renovation and that council meetings were being held at the Haddon Heights Community Center.

For people who use Wynnefield Avenue or New Jersey Avenue, the practical effect of the award will depend on the borough’s later decisions about design, project limits and timing. The state grant establishes the funding amount, project name and roadway-preservation purpose; subsequent borough documents and actions will determine how the work proceeds.
