U.S. Route 30 in New Jersey

US 30 crosses the Delaware River into New Jersey on the Benjamin Franklin Bridge from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, along with I-676 and the PATCO Speedline. The road continues east into the downtown area of Camden in Camden County as a seven-lane freeway maintained by the Delaware River Port Authority that passes to the north of the former site of Campbell's Field, a former baseball stadium, and comes to the westbound toll plaza for the bridge.[2][3] Past the toll plaza, US 30 splits from I-676 at an interchange and heads southeast on the six-lane, divided Admiral Wilson Boulevard maintained by the New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) and named for Henry Braid Wilson.[1][3][4] This portion, formerly known as Bridge Approach Boulevard, is an early example of a roadway designed for the automobile, and was home to the first drive-in movie theatre.[4] Along Admiral Wilson Boulevard, the route passes under a railroad line carrying Conrail Shared Assets Operations' Vineland Secondary and NJ Transit's River Line and interchanges with CR 537 before widening to eight lanes and crossing the Cooper River.[1] The road runs east through urbanized sections of Camden along the north bank of the Cooper River, interchanging with CR 608. After this interchange, US 30 enters suburban Pennsauken Township and comes to the Airport Circle, which has been modified to include ramps.[1][3] Here, US 30 meets US 130 and the western terminus of Route 38 and turns south to form a concurrency with US 130 on Crescent Boulevard, a six-lane divided highway that narrows to four lanes.[1] The road crosses the Cooper River into Collingswood, running to the east of Harleigh Cemetery before interchanging with CR 561 and passing under the PATCO Speedline.[1][3]

US 30 eastbound on the Admiral Wilson Boulevard approaching US 130 and Route 38 at the Airport Circle in Pennsauken Township

At the former Collingswood Circle, US 30 splits from US 130 by heading south-southeast on two-lane, undivided White Horse Pike.[1] The road passes homes and some businesses before crossing the Newton Creek into Oaklyn, where it passes suburban residential and commercial development.[1][3] US 30 forms the border between Oaklyn to the west and Haddon Township to the east before heading into Audubon. At the border of Audubon and Haddon Heights, the route crosses CR 551 Spur.[1] In this town, the White Horse Pike reaches an intersection with Route 41 at a modified traffic circle and an interchange with I-295 within a close distance of each other in Barrington.[1][3] At this point, the route is four lanes wide, with a short divided portion immediately south of I-295.[1]

US 30 westbound past CR 669 in Magnolia

US 30 continues into Lawnside, becoming a four-lane undivided road. It passes under the New Jersey Turnpike, but there is no interchange present between the two roads.[1][3] Past here, the road enters Magnolia, where it crosses CR 544. Following this intersection, the route heads through Somerdale before turning more southeast and forming the border between Stratford to the southwest and Somerdale to the northeast.[1] US 30 entirely enters Stratford as it intersects CR 673 and passes near the Lindenwold station, which is a stop on NJ Transit’s Atlantic City Line and the terminus of the PATCO Speedline.[1][3] The White Horse Pike turns back to the south-southeast and forms the border between Laurel Springs to the west and Lindenwold to the east before continuing fully into Lindenwold. The route later turns southeast and enters Clementon. After a turn to the east, US 30 runs along the border of Lindenwold to the north and Clementon to the south and fully enters Lindenwold again prior to the border with Berlin.[1] In Berlin, the White Horse Pike becomes concurrent with CR 534 and then CR 561 a short distance later.[1][3] US 30 turns to the south-southeast and passes through the downtown area of Berlin as a two-lane road.[3] Past the downtown area, CR 534 and CR 561 split from US 30 at the same intersection, with CR 534 heading east on Jackson Road and CR 561 heading southeast on Tansboro Road, and US 30 widens back to four lanes. The White Horse Pike encounters Route 73 and CR 536 Spur at a cloverleaf interchange.[1][3]

Following the interchange, US 30 enters Waterford Township, as it passes near the community of Atco.[1][3] The road turns south as it passes Atco Lake and continues into more wooded areas with some development, eventually heading south-southeast again. NJ Transit’s Atlantic City Line runs a short distance to the northeast of the route at this point.[3] US 30 continues through Chesilhurst before it enters Winslow Township. Here, the route intersects CR 536 and forms a short concurrency with that route before it heads to the east.[1] From this point, the road continues into a mix of woodland, farmland, and development.[3] US 30 intersects Route 143 and passes over the Atlantic City Line as it turns southeast.[1][3] The road makes another turn to the south as it crosses CR 723 and passes under an abandoned railroad line.[1]

US 30 westbound past CR 542 in Hammonton

US 30 heads southeast into Hammonton, Atlantic County, continuing through rural areas with increasing development. The road comes to its intersection with the southern terminus US 206 and the northern terminus of Route 54.[1][3] A short distance later, the route has a concurrency with CR 542 that begins adjacent to the former Atlanticare - Kessler Memorial Hospital that closed in 2009 and passes by Hammonton Lake.[1][3][5] US 30 turns south-southwest past the CR 542 concurrency before heading south. The route crosses CR 561 and turns southeast again, entering Mullica Township.[1] Here, the White Horse Pike enters more forested areas with a few buildings, running a short distance to the northeast of the Atlantic City Line.[3] Past the intersection with CR 623 in the developed community of Elwood, US 30 becomes a divided highway with grass median and jughandles. This configuration continues until Egg Harbor City, when the median ends. In Egg Harbor City, US 30 passes a mix of homes and businesses, intersecting the northern terminus of Route 50 and CR 563 in the center of town.[1][3] At this point, CR 563 forms a concurrency with US 30 and the two routes continue through more of the town before crossing into Galloway Township at the intersection with CR 674.[1] The road passes through rural areas with some development, reaching the community of Cologne. In this area, there is a crossroads with CR 614 before CR 563 splits from US 30 by turning south onto Tilton Road. Past Cologne, the road reaches a junction with CR 575 in the developed community of Pomona.[1][3]

US 30 westbound just west of the eastern terminus in Atlantic City

Following this intersection, US 30 continues southeast past wooded residential neighborhoods to the northeast, becoming a divided highway again.[1][3] The route comes to a partial interchange with the Garden State Parkway, with access to and from the northbound direction of the parkway.[1] Past this interchange, the road heads through commercial areas and continues into Absecon.[1][3] In Absecon, the White Horse Pike widens to six lanes and crosses CR 651 before intersecting US 9.[1] After passing near the Absecon station along the Atlantic City Line, US 30 crosses Shore Road, which heads north as Route 157 and south as CR 585. The road turns south, narrowing back to four lanes before entering marshland to the west of Absecon Bay. There is a northbound exit and southbound entrance to CR 646 before US 30 crosses the Jonathans Thorofare into Atlantic City, where the name becomes Absecon Boulevard as it turns to the east.[1][3] Absecon Boulevard crosses Newfound Thorofare before heading south and passing over Duck Thorofare.[1] The road passes by the Jersey-Atlantic Wind Farm and heads southeast across Beach Thorofare. At this point, US 30 widens to six lanes and passes to the north of residential neighborhoods, with maintenance of the road switching from NJDOT to the South Jersey Transportation Authority. After crossing the Penrose Canal, the route passes over the tunnel carrying the Atlantic City–Brigantine Connector and intersects the southern terminus of Route 87, where there is a ramp to the northbound Atlantic City–Brigantine Connector. The road passes areas of development and intersects an access road to the southbound Atlantic City–Brigantine Connector as well as Route 187.[1][3] Two blocks later, US 30 ends at the intersection with Virginia Avenue and Adriatic Avenue, where Absecon Boulevard continues east as an unnumbered road.[1]
