Delaware Memorial Bridge, Camden Freeway |
Direction: North/South
Southern Terminus: Delaware Memorial Bridge at the Delaware-New Jersey border
Northern Terminus: Brunswick Pike (US 1) and I-95 in Lawrence
I-295 is a north/south route in southern New Jersey. It enters New Jersey from
Delaware via the Delaware Memorial Bridge, a suspension bridge over the Delaware
River. The New Jersey Turnpike (NJ 700) begins at I-295 on the New Jersey side
of the bridge. I-295 runs north, parallel to the turnpike, providing an
alternate route for local traffic. This section is called the Camden Freeway.
In Lawrence, there is an interchange with Brunswick Pike (US 1). At this point,
I-295 curves around to the south and becomes I-95, which runs south into
Pennsylvania.
There is currently construction in progress in Pennsylvania to build an
interchange between the Delaware Expressway (I-95) and the Pennsylvania Turnpike
(I-276). When this work is completed, certain routes will be renumbered to fix
the gap in I-95. At this point, the section of I-295 north of I-195 will be
renumbered I-195.
