county : Camden Municipality : Camden City Mileposts : 0.12 - 0.5 NJDOT - Kaighn Avenue (CR 607), Bridge over Cooper River (Roadway and Bridge Improvements) As of July 16 , 2025, the project is in Final Planning status. Anticipated letting Year is 2025. The project will make roadway improvements to Kaighn Ave. (CR 607) from Euclid St. to North Park Dr. (CR 628) and include complete bridge replacement of the Kaighn Ave. Bridge. These improvements will decrease travel time, alleviate flooding, reduce annual maintenance costs and provide for a multimodal connection to The Circuit, Greater Philadelphia's Regional Trail Network. Kaighn Avenue is a heavily traveled regionally significant corridor that transects the Parkside Neighborhood of Camden City and is prone to tidal flooding and plagued by road closings during regular rainfall and high tide events. Flooding is the result of a 40 year old hurricane event that breached a nearby earthen dam and subsequently allows the Cooper River to inundate a low lying area of Farnham Park which is directly adjacent to a 1/3 mile stretch of Kaighn Avenue. Road closing events due to flooding number between 15 - 18 times annually. In addition, the vertical alignment of Kaighn Avenue, as a result of topography, plays a role in the continued flooding. Over time high tides and regular rain fall have led to total washout, undermining the road structure and severe ice wedging. Non-motorized transportation challenges include the sidewalk and multiuse trail being in severe disrepair or continually washed out. This trail provides access to Farnham Park and The Circuit connecting users to Philadelphia and the regions trail. *Project information has been obtained through a public state transportation improvement plan (STIP).
