Direct Connection
On Thursday Morning March 25th, a large segment of retaining wall and roadway for the massive Direct Connect project for Routes 295 and 42 in Bellmawr New Jersey… collapsed. This post includes a Video analysis, theory and more on collapsed roadway and retaining wall. Plus some requests of NJDOT.. “I need the info”
Mark from 42Freeway heads back to Bellmawr’s massive Direct Connect project, to review what has changed in the last few months. And yes, there are new things to talk about. This update is really a 7 min YouTube video (bottom of article) but we’ll highlight here in writing and photos the things in the video.
What are they building along Rt 42 in Bellmawr? A lot of digging and ramps going up?! It is the Missing Moves project which is to filling in the missing connections between Rt 42 and Rt 295… “Why can’t I get on 2955 South to Delaware?” Well soon you will be able to. They are moving fast and this is not the whole story! More to come!
Almost 20 years in the planning, but with the awarding of a $180 million contract in January, the long awaited Missing Moves project in Bellmawr, NJ will start construction THIS SPRING! Literally months away! The long awaited road will connect Route 42 North to 295 South, and of course in the opposite direction… 295 North to 42 South (and on to 55 and the AC Expressway)!
An update on the massive 295/76/42 Direct Connection project (Bellmawr NJ), with aerial photos and video! It may seem things have slowed down, but NJDOT says its progressing nicely and more visible progress starts again soon!
