Chestnut Avenue SS4A Project

In 2022, the City Engineer collaborated with T&M Associates to develop a concept plan for safety improvements on Chestnut Avenue from Main Road (County Route 555) to Delsea Drive (NJ 47). Also, City Council supported a road diet and substantive safety improvements along this stretch of Chestnut Avenue.

This project will convert Chestnut Avenue from the existing 4-lane, 50’ wide multilane highway configuration into a 4-lane thoroughfare with a center two-way-left-turn lane between S. East Blvd. and 7th Street. At most existing signalized intersections a 12’ wide left-turn lane will be added.

In addition to the modifications to the existing roadway lane configuration, the entire pavement will be rehabilitated, with either full depth material or milled and overlaid. Signing will be upgraded or replaced, and all pavement markings will meet current standards.

To improve multimodal accessibility, an 8’ shared-use path will be constructed on the north side of the roadway and a 5’ sidewalk will be constructed on the south side to facilitate non-motorists through the corridor.

The traffic signals within the corridor, excluding the traffic signals at the intersections with Delsea Drive (NJ Route 47) and Main Road (CR 555), will be reconstructed using currently accepted traffic engineering practices. The traffic signals throughout the corridor will be coordinated.

The storm drainage systems will be brought to current standards in accordance with the 2015 NJDOT Roadway Design Manual.
