U.S. Route 40 serves as a major east-west highway in southern New Jersey from Delaware and points south to the Jersey Shore. It runs from the Delaware border on the Delaware Memorial Bridge through three counties, Salem, Gloucester, and Atlantic, and ending concurrent with US 322 in Atlantic City. Along its trip through these counties, some of the small towns that depend on the traffic US 40 brings are Woodstown, Elmer, Newfield, and Buena. An eclectic mix of rural, suburban, and urban environs are experienced on this relatively-short lifeline across South Jersey.
US 40 also remains the preferred route to Atlantic City from Delaware, Maryland, and points south and west, due to the non-existence of other viable alternatives (the Atlantic City Expressway starts about 25 miles (40 km) north of where US 40 enters New Jersey). This fact, along with the relatively rural lifestyle enjoyed by the people who live along this artery, has made for sticky situations in the summer, the peak of tourist season at the Jersey Shore.
Route description
Salem County
US 40 enters New Jersey along with I-295 from Delaware on the Delaware Memorial Bridge over the Delaware River. The road heads southeast into Pennsville Township, Salem County as a six-lane freeway maintained by the Delaware River and Bay Authority that passes through industrial areas.[2][3] I-295/US 40 interchanges with US 130 and Route 49, where it narrows into a four-lane freeway maintained by the New Jersey Department of Transportation. A short distance after this interchange, the road enters Carneys Point Township, where it comes to an interchange with CR 551. At this point, I-295 splits from US 40 by turning northeast on a freeway concurrent with CR 551 while US 40 becomes concurrent with the four-lane New Jersey Turnpike and continues east with it for a short distance.[3][4] US 40 splits from the New Jersey Turnpike at the last exit before the toll barrier, the same point where Route 140 heads west and CR 540 heads to the east.[1] From this point, US 40 becomes a surface four-lane divided highway called Wiley Road that runs a short distance south of the New Jersey Turnpike, with a wide median.[1][2] It continues into rural areas with woods, farms, and some residences, heading farther to the south of the New Jersey Turnpike.[2]
Upon meeting the eastern terminus of Route 48, US 40 turns to the southeast and becomes the Harding Highway, a two-lane undivided road that passes through more agricultural areas. Upon crossing CR 646, the road enters Pilesgrove Township and continues past the Cowtown Rodeo. The route passes through the residential community of Sharptown before coming to an intersection with Route 45. At this point, US 40 turns to the northeast to form a concurrency with Route 45 and enters Woodstown, where it becomes West Avenue and passes residences before reaching the downtown area. Here, Route 45 splits from US 40 by heading north on Main Street and US 40 continues to the east as East Avenue, passing more developed areas. The route leaves Woodstown for Pilesgrove Township again, where it turns east-southeast as Harding Highway and heads back into a mix of fields and woods with some homes.[1][2] A short distance after entering Upper Pittsgrove Township, the road crosses CR 581. In the community of Pole Tavern further to the east, US 40 encounters Route 77, CR 604, and CR 635 at the Pole Tavern Circle.[1] Past Pole Tavern, the road passes more farm fields before coming to Elmer, where it becomes Chestnut Street. In Elmer, the route passes several homes and makes a turn to the northeast onto Front Street. Upon leaving Elmer, US 40 becomes Harding Highway again and forms the border of Upper Pittsgrove Township to the north and Pittsgrove Township to the south, passing through forested areas with some development. The route crosses CR 553 before passing through the community of Porchtown.[1][2]
Gloucester County
After Porchtown, US 40 crosses into Franklin Township in Gloucester County, turning southeast and running through more woods.[1][2] It comes to a cloverleaf interchange with Route 55, where US 40 is briefly a four-lane divided highway.[1] Past Route 55, the route continues past Malaga Lake and comes to the community of Malaga.[2] In Malaga, the route heads into a business district and intersects Route 47, turning to the northeast to run concurrent with that route on a three-lane road with a center left-turn lane through inhabited areas. After passing over a Conrail Shared Assets Operations railroad line, US 40 and Route 47 split, with Route 47 heading north and US 40 turning south and running parallel to the railroad tracks.[1][2] The road makes a turn to the east-southeast, leaving Malaga and returning to areas of farmland and trees.[2] The road briefly runs along the northern border of Newfield before coming to a crossroads with CR 555.[1] After passing near the Vineland-Downstown Airport, US 40 comes to an intersection with CR 557 and forms a concurrency with that route.[1][2]
Atlantic County
Immediately after CR 557 joins US 40, the road enters Buena, Atlantic County and continues southeast into inhabited areas. After running through the commercial center of town, the road comes to an intersection with Route 54 and CR 619 in a business area located on the outskirts.[1][2] At this point, it enters Buena Vista Township, and CR 557 splits form US 40 by heading to the southeast on Buena-Tuckahoe Road.[1] From this point, US 40 enters dense woodland with some homes and businesses as well as occasional farms.[2] The road reaches the residential community of Richland, where it encounters the eastern terminus of CR 540 and CR 622 and crosses a Conrail Shared Assets Operations railroad line. Upon leaving Richland, the route crosses into Hamilton Township, where it runs through Mizpah before heading back into forested areas with a few residences. US 40 intersects the eastern terminus of CR 552, briefly becoming a divided highway before turning east into denser inhabited areas.[1][2] The route comes to an intersection with Route 50, with that route forming a concurrency with US 40 before the road crosses the Great Egg Harbor River.[1] Upon crossing the river, the road enters Mays Landing and turns north into the downtown area.[1][2] Here, it meets CR 559 and US 40 splits from Route 50 by turning east onto that route.[1] The road passes more development before CR 559 splits from the road by heading southeast. US 40 heads east out of Mays Landing, where it continues through woodland with residential development increasing. The road widens into four lanes as it comes to an intersection with US 322 (Black Horse Pike) near the Hamilton Mall.[1][2] At this point, US 40 forms a concurrency with US 322, which lasts for the remainder of the route.[1]
The two routes continue to the southeast through business areas, meeting CR 575 and a ramp to the Atlantic City Expressway. CR 575 turns east to form a concurrency with US 40/US 322.[1][2] The road enters Egg Harbor Township, with CR 575 splitting from US 40/US 322 by turning to the south.[1] The route passes more wooded residential and commercial areas, as well as the Storybook Land amusement park, before intersecting CR 563. US 40/US 322 forms a concurrency with that route and passes through a business district that includes the Shore Mall. CR 563 splits from the road by continuing southeast and the Black Horse Pike heads east interchange with the Garden State Parkway.[1][2] The only direct ramp present is between the Black Horse Pike westbound and the Garden State Parkway northbound, with all other movements are provided by CR 563.[2] Past here, US 40/US 322 continues east past more businesses, crossing CR 651 before entering Pleasantville. In Pleasantville, the road crosses US 9, where the name changes to Verona Avenue. Upon crossing CR 585, the Black Horse Pike continues past residences as an undivided road, crossing back into Egg Harbor Township. The road passes more businesses, closely paralleling the Atlantic City Expressway before entering Atlantic City. Here, the name becomes Albany Avenue and it comes to a pair of ramps that provide access to and from the Black Horse Pike eastbound and the Atlantic City Expressway westbound.[1][2] US 40/US 322 enters marshland, crossing the Great Thorofare onto Great Island before passing over the Beach Thorofare. Past this bridge, the road passes between businesses to the west and the closed Bader Field airport and the abandoned Bernie Robbins Stadium to the east.[2] US 40/US 322 crosses the Inside Thorofare on a drawbridge and continues as a county maintained road to its end at Atlantic Avenue and Pacific Avenue, one block from the boardwalk.[1][2] Through New Jersey, US 40 serves as a main road connecting Atlantic City with points south along Interstate 95, such as Baltimore and Washington, D.C.[5]
History
The portion of US 40 concurrent with US 322 follows the Black Horse Pike, a turnpike established in 1855 that was to run from Camden to Atlantic City via Blackwoodtown.[6] In 1923, pre-1927 Route 18S was created along the current alignment of US 40 east of the Route 48 intersection, running from Penns Grove to Atlantic City.[7] When the U.S. Highway System was established in 1926, the alignment of US 40 in New Jersey ran from Penns Grove, where a ferry carried the route across the Delaware River to Wilmington, Delaware, east to Atlantic City concurrent with pre-1927 Route 18S. [8][9] In the 1927 New Jersey state highway renumbering that occurred a year later, pre-1927 Route 18S was replaced by Route 48.[10][11] In 1936, US 322 was also signed concurrent with US 40 on the Black Horse Pike. [12] The portion of US 40/US 322 that existed in Atlantic City was legislated as Route 55 in 1938.[13] Also by 1938, US 40 was moved to a ferry that ran across the Delaware River between Pennsville and New Castle, Delaware, following current Route 49, local roads, and CR 551 to travel between the ferry and Route 48.[14] Following the completion of the Delaware Memorial Bridge and the New Jersey Turnpike in 1951, US 40 was moved to the new bridge and routed to follow a small portion of the New Jersey Turnpike and Wiley Road to the current eastern terminus of Route 48.[15] In the 1953 New Jersey state highway renumbering, which eliminated several concurrencies between U.S. highways and state routes, Route 48 was removed from the portion of US 40 east of its current eastern terminus and the Route 55 designation was dropped entirely.[16][17]
In the 1980s, Congressman William J. Hughes proposed a freeway along the US 40 corridor in order to alleviate increased traffic along that route following the legalization of gambling in Atlantic City. This freeway, which was to be maintained by the New Jersey Expressway Authority, was to run from the Delaware Memorial Bridge east to Atlantic City.[18] However, the NJDOT determined that the traffic volume on US 40 did not justify the construction of a freeway along the corridor.[19] The Cardiff Circle along US 40/US 322 at CR 608 and CR 651 in Egg Harbor Township was eliminated in a $3.7 million project completed in 2002.[20]
