US 322 Freeway (New Jersey, unbuilt) (1515 words)
In 1960, the New Jersey State Highway Department mapped out a network of proposed freeways that was to supplement the existing network of toll roads and Interstate highways.
The new turnpike spur, which was to connect the Commodore Barry Bridge with the Atlantic City Expressway, was to also serve traffic from the newly completed I-476 ("Blue Route") in Pennsylvania.
The new US 322 Freeway would serve as a southern bypass of the Philadelphia-Camden metropolitan area, and as a more direct route to the New Jersey shore from southern parts of the Middle Atlantic region.
