I-295/I-76/Rt. 42 Direct Connection Interchange
Streamlined Environmental Review Expedites Critical Interchange
One of the most congested interchanges in the region, the I-295/I-76/Rt. 42 interchange does not currently connect directly with I-295 for through traffic.
For the estimated $900 million project, approved in 2009, we worked with the NJDOT to develop a streamlining process that specified tight time frames and committed decision makers to progress.
The selected alternative threads the roadways through precious natural, cultural and community resources.

Working with the New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) on the redesign of the I-295/I-76/Rt. 42 Direct Connection Interchange in Camden County, New Jersey, our team faced complex challenges including potential impacts to fragile wetlands and a sensitive stream, valuable cultural resources, and the community. NJDOT helped develop a streamlined program to move the project through several permits and regulatory reviews. The coordination between the agencies saved time and money and resulted in regulators applauding the program and timely federal approvals.
