Marlton Circle
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Marlton Circle is a traffic circle in the Marlton section of Evesham Township, New Jersey, located at the intersection of Route 70 and Route 73.
For many years the Marlton Circle was just 1 lane back in the days when Marlton was just a farming town. In the 1960s and then later in the early 1970s as the towns population grew so did the town's traffic and the circle became a traffic jam. In the summer of 1974, the circle was modified when Route 73 was cut through and traffic signals were installed. Congestion has plagued this intersection for years, routinely backing up as far as a mile on summer afternoons. Route 73 passes through the center of the circle.
In recent years, plans have been made to eliminate the circle and replace it with an overpass over Route 70. Construction broke ground on April 8, 2009 with project completion slated for 2011.
