A $700 million construction project on Route 295/42/I-76, Direct Connection, Camden County has received the approval of the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission.
This interchange is one of the 10 most congested locations in New Jersey (#1 in the DVRPC region), and has an average crash rate four times higher than the statewide average. As the major carrier of Pennsylvania-bound commuter traffic via the Walt Whitman and Ben Franklin Bridges and as the primary recreational connection to the Jersey shore via Route 42 and the Atlantic City Expressway, this interchange is the busiest in the region. The project is currently in the Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) stage.
