Had to go down to Delran this past weekend for business, noticed 295 has some cones set up along the left lanes with the medians dug out I think between Bordentown and Mt. Holly. Are they widening the highway to 8 lanes (4 each way)? If they are that's great but it really doesn't seem to need it.

I don't know, but that sounds like what they were doing south of 42 the last few years. They were digging up & rebuilding the road.

How bad is it with the construction going on? I have avoided it since the construction started but avoiding it takes me out of the way when I go to my mother's.

295 is one highway I have never experienced traffic on. It was practically empty on Saturday both ways. I got on from Rt 1 in Lawrenceville and took it down to exit 43 to go to Delran for business. Usually go down a little further and get off either at Rt 73 or Haddonfield-Berlin Rd since I have family in those areas. Never had any traffic on 295, that's why I said if they are widening it it really doesn't need it. I can't remember the last time I was on the turnpike south of 10 because 295 is always empty.

Right, I have experienced tons of traffic on it during the week where you really don't even move, but then again I am not up that far north (to go to my Mom's I get on 295 from 42 and take it up to the 73 north exit). It is usually during the week. I took it one time when the construction had started and it was very confusing, the road split up into multiple lanes and I wasn't sure which side I was supposed to be on. So I've been instead taking 73 all the way up to the Tacony from the AC expressway. But now 73 is undergoing construction and I anticipate will become nightmarish at some point around the Marlton circle, so it would be nice to know if 295 is "safe" again, lol.
