Earlier with week part of the retaining wall that forms the side of the new 295 mainline partially collapsed. No word on the cause yet, but would have to guess that the earth at the base of the wall gave way causing the middle of the wall to slide down and pulling that section of the wall down. At the top of the second picture you can see the edge of the paved roadway where the collapsed section broke away and dropped several feet. Currently the left lane of 295 North is closed from Essex Ave up to Black Horse Pike while they work to stabilize the collapse. The collapsed section is far enough back from the road that I don’t expect this lane closure to last to long.
You can see a video of the damage in this article:
