Interstate 295 (I-295) inDelaware,New Jersey, andPennsylvania is anauxiliary Interstate Highway, designated as abypass aroundPhiladelphia, and a partialbeltway ofTrenton.

The route begins at the interchange withI-95 south ofWilmington, and runs to an interchange withI-95 inBristol Township, Pennsylvania. The highway heads east from I-95 and crosses theDelaware River into New Jersey on theDelaware Memorial Bridge,running concurrently withUS 40. Upon entering New Jersey, I-295 runs concurrently with theNew Jersey Turnpike and US 40 for a brief 0.5 miles (0.80 km) until splitting away at exit 1 and runs parallel to the turnpike for most of its course in the state. After a concurrency withUS 130 inGloucester County, I-295 has an interchange withI-76 andRoute 42 inCamden County. The freeway continues northeasterly towards Trenton, where it interchanges withI-195 andRoute 29 before bypassing the city to the east, north, and west, crossing the Delaware River on theScudder Falls Bridge into Pennsylvania. In Pennsylvania, I-295 is signed as an east–west road and heads south to its other terminus at I-95. I-295 is one of twoauxiliary Interstates in the US to enter three states, the other being theI-275 beltway aroundCincinnati, which entersOhio,Indiana, andKentucky.

Three portions of I-295 predate theInterstate Highway System: the Delaware Memorial Bridge and its approach, built in 1951; a section inSalem County, built in 1953; and the part concurrent with US 130, built in two sections that opened in 1948 and 1954. The route was designated on these sections in New Jersey in 1958 and in Delaware in 1959. The portion of I-295 connecting to I-95 in Delaware opened in 1963 while most of the route in New Jersey was finished by the 1980s. The part of I-295 near the interchange with I-195 and Route 29 was finished in 1994. I-295 previously ended in New Jersey atUS 1 inLawrence Township, becoming I-95 heading south into Philadelphia. By July 2018, I-295 was extended along the former I-95 in New Jersey andBucks County, Pennsylvania, to end at I-95 at thePennsylvania Turnpike, with no access between I-295 and the latter road. In addition to the extension of I-295, now at 76 miles (122 km), it became the longest signed interstate in New Jersey, surpassingI-80. Improvements continue to be made to the highway, including reconstruction of interchanges and replacement of bridges.

I-295 begins atI-95,I-495,US 202, andDE 141 nearNewport, Delaware, and heads east over theDelaware River on theDelaware Memorial Bridge intoNew Jersey. The highway intersects the southern terminus of theNew Jersey Turnpike and runs northeast through suburban areas ofSouth Jersey parallel to the turnpike, providing a bypass ofPhiladelphia andCamden. I-295 turns north and bypassesTrenton to the east and turns west at the interchange with US 1 in Lawrence Township. The route heads west around the north side of Trenton, crosses the Delaware River on theScudder Falls Bridge intoPennsylvania, and heads south to its terminus atI-95 inBristol Township.^[2][6][7][8] The portion of I-295 running through New Jersey is sometimes referred to as the Camden Freeway by theNew Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT).^[9] As part of theInterstate Highway System, the entire length of I-295 is a part of theNational Highway System,^[10][11][12] a network of roads important to the country's economy, defense, and mobility.^[13]

I-295 begins at an interchange with I-95, I-495, US 202, and DE 141 south of the town ofNewport inNew Castle County,Delaware. The northbound beginning of I-295 has direct ramps from both directions of I-95, southbound I-495, and southbound DE 141, while the southbound end of I-295 has direct ramps to both directions of I-95, northbound I-495, and northbound DE 141. From this junction, the highway heads southeast on an eight-lanefreeway maintained by theDelaware Department of Transportation that passes to the northeast of suburban neighborhoods inWilmington Manor. I-295 passes over theJack A. Markell Trail and reaches an interchange withUS 13/US 40 inFarnhurst. Here, US 40 splits from US 13 by heading eastconcurrently with I-295. At this interchange, the highway becomes maintained by theDelaware River and Bay Authority. The road has an eastbound ramp to Landers Lane before it passes between residential neighborhoods and comes to acloverleaf interchange withDE 9 north of the city ofNew Castle. This interchange provides access toVeterans Memorial Park, where a war memorial honoring veterans from Delaware andNew Jersey is located. Past DE 9, the median of the freeway widens to include the DRBA headquarters, with direct access to and from the southbound lanes while northbound access is provided by way of DE 9. After this, the southbound lanes of I-295 have a toll plaza for the Delaware Memorial Bridge. I-295/US 40 continues east and passes overNorfolk Southern Railway's New Castle Secondary railroad line before crossing the Delaware River on thetwin-span Delaware Memorial Bridge.^[6][8]

Upon reaching the east bank of the Delaware River, I-295/US 40 begins a briefconcurrency with theNew Jersey Turnpike and entersPennsville inSalem County,New Jersey, heading east-southeast through industrial areas. The freeway comes to an interchange withUS 130 andRoute 49. Here, I-295 splits onto its own freeway maintained by the New Jersey Department of Transportation while US 40 continues along the New Jersey Turnpike for a short distance before it splits to the southeast. A short distance later, the roadway entersCarneys Point andCR 551 merges onto I-295, with the four-lane freeway heading northeast. The highway comes to a junction withRoute 140, where CR 551 splits from I-295 by continuing east along Route 140. I-295 heads into wooded areas and features arest area in the northbound direction. The freeway continues northeast and comes to a northboundweigh station before it reaches theRoute 48 exit. The highway runs through a mix of farmland and woodland and entersOldmans Township, where it comes to an interchange providing access to Straughns Mill Road (CR 643).^[2][8]

I-295 crosses theOldmans Creek intoLogan Township inGloucester County and passes near some residential development andPureland Industrial Complex as it comes to the exit for Center Square Road (CR 620). The road crosses theRaccoon Creek and reaches an exit forUS 322. Following this, the highway runs through agricultural and wooded areas before northbound US 130 merges into the freeway.

At this point, I-295 and US 130 head east as a six-lane freeway with a narrow median and soon come to the exit for Repaupo Station Road (CR 684). Continuing east, the freeway crosses intoGreenwich Township and has an exit for Tomlin Station Road (CR 607). After passing near Greenwich Lake, there are exits for Paulsboro-Swedesboro Road (CR 653) and Democrat Road (CR 673) within a short distance of each other. I-295/US 130 reaches an exit for Harmony Road (CR 680) on the border of Greenwich Township andEast Greenwich Township. The road runs through a portion of East Greenwich Township before crossing back into Greenwich Township and coming to an exit for Berkley Road (CR 678) and Cohawkin Road (CR 667) on the border of Greenwich Township andPaulsboro.^[2][8]

Past this point, the freeway runs through marshy areas of Mantua Creek and continues intoWest Deptford. Here, there is an exit for Mantua Grove Road (CR 656). Passing near more industrial areas, I-295/US 130 has an interchange with Mid-Atlantic Parkway, which provides access toRoute 44 as well as to Grove Street (CR 643) and Jessup Road (CR 660). Continuing northeast, the freeway passes overConrail Shared Assets Operations'Penns Grove Secondary railroad line and reaches an exit for Route 44 and Delaware Street (CR 640). At this point, Route 44 begins to parallel I-295/US 130 on its northwest side as the two roads cross the Woodbury Creek. Route 44 ends at acul-de-sac that has a ramp from the southbound direction of I-295/US 130 prior to another exit that provides access to Red Bank Avenue (CR 644). The freeway passes near some homes before US 130 splits from I-295 at an interchange that also has access to Hessian Avenue (CR 642). The median of I-295 becomes wider again and it continues east through woods, coming to a southbound exit and northbound entrance withRoute 45. The roadway passes over Conrail Shared Assets Operations'Vineland Secondary railroad line and briefly passes throughDeptford before it has a partial interchange with CR 551, with a southbound exit and northbound entrance. The highway entersWestville and skirts near residential and commercial development, with another southbound exit and northbound entrance servingRoute 47.^[2][8]

I-295 crosses theBig Timber Creek intoBellmawr inCamden County and runs northeast, with a northbound exit to southboundRoute 42 and a southbound entrance from northbound Route 42, before it comes to the exit for the North–South Freeway, which serves as Route 42 andI-76. At this point, the travel lanes of I-295 head north for a short distance along the outside of the North–South Freeway, with the northbound lanes of I-295 having access from northbound Route 42 and eastbound I-76 and access to westbound I-76 while the southbound lanes of I-295 having access from eastbound I-76 and access to southbound Route 42. Past this, I-295 continues east as a six-lane freeway through wooded areas near suburban development, passing under Conrail Shared Assets Operations' Grenloch Industrial Track line before reaching an exit forBlack Horse Pike (Route 168). The highway heads east along the border betweenHaddon Heights to the north andBarrington to the south and passes over Conrail Shared Assets Operations' Beesleys Point Secondary railroad line before reaching the exit for White Horse Pike (US 30) near its intersection of Clements Bridge Road/Highland Avenue (Route 41/CR 573).^[2][8]

The road fully enters Barrington before crossing intoLawnside, where it comes to a southbound exit and northbound entrance serving Warwick Road (CR 669). After this, I-295 curves northeast and passes through a corner ofTavistock before enteringHaddonfield and coming to atrumpet interchange providing access toWoodcrest Station along thePATCO Speedline. At this point, the road becomes closely parallel to the New Jersey Turnpike to the southeast. The highway crosses intoCherry Hill and passes over the tracks carrying the PATCO Speedline andNJ Transit'sAtlantic City Line before it reaches the exit for Haddonfield-Berlin Road (CR 561). The roadway runs through wooded areas with suburban neighborhoods to the west and the New Jersey Turnpike to the east as it comes to a cloverleaf interchange atRoute 70. Past this, the highway curves north farther west from the turnpike.^[2][8]

I-295 entersMount Laurel inBurlington County upon crossingPennsauken Creek and runs northeast through woods near development, reaching a cloverleaf interchange atRoute 73 that provides access to the New Jersey Turnpike to the east. Past this, the road passes east-northeast near commercial areas to the southeast ofMoorestown Mall before curving northeast to closely follow the turnpike. The highway runs through wooded areas and encounters the exit forRoute 38. The roadway passes over Conrail Shared Assets Operations' Pemberton Industrial Track line and Marne Highway (CR 537) and runs through a mix of fields and trees with occasional development, with an exit serving Creek Road (CR 635). I-295 crosses theRancocas Creek intoWestampton and runs through an area of warehouses, where it has a cloverleaf interchange at Rancocas-Mt Holly Road (CR 626). The highway runs north through rural land with nearby buildings and entersBurlington Township. Here, the road curves northeast and comes to a cloverleaf interchange at Burlington-Mt Holly Road (CR 541) that provides access to a commercial area along with the New Jersey Turnpike. The freeway runs through woodland and heads intoSpringfield Township, where it passes a pair of closed rest areas in each direction. I-295 crosses theAssiscunk Creek intoFlorence and heads through a mix of farm fields and trees before it entersMansfield Township and comes to a cloverleaf interchange at Florence-Columbus Road (CR 656) that provides access to nearby Columbus Road (CR 543). The highway passes over the Pearl Harbor Memorial Extension of the New Jersey Turnpike (I-95) and continues through rural land intoBordentown Township, where a northbound exit and southbound entrance serves Rising Sun Road that provides access toUS 206 and the New Jersey Turnpike (I-95). Past this, the road curves north and reaches the exit for US 130 west ofBordentown before passing through woodland and crossing over NJ Transit'sRiver Line.^[2][8]

I-295 crosses theCrosswicks Creek intoHamilton inMercer County and runs through woods and marshland a short distance east of the Delaware River. Ascenic overlook of the river is located along the southbound side of the road; access from the northbound lanes is provided by a pedestrian bridge over the highway. The freeway heads farther from the river and passes over the River Line again before it reaches a modified cloverleaf interchange servingI-195 toBelmar andRoute 29 to [[Trenton, New Jersey |Trenton]]. Following this junction, the road heads northeast near residential neighborhoods and comes to an exit for Arena Drive (CR 620) that provides access to nearby White Horse Avenue (CR 533). A short distance later, a southbound exit and northbound entrance provides access to northbound Olden Avenue (CR 622). I-295 continues through wooded areas with nearby development and curves north to come to an exit forRoute 33 and Hamilton Avenue (CR 606). The next interchange is a southbound exit and northbound entrance at East State Street (CR 535). The highway continues through woods and reaches a cloverleaf interchange serving Sloan Avenue (CR 649). The roadway comes to a bridge overAmtrak'sNortheast Corridor railroad line and crosses intoLawrence Township, where it curves northwest and comes to a modified cloverleaf interchange withUS 1.^[2][8]

West of US 1, the freeway passes commercial areas. I-295 comes to a partial cloverleaf interchange at Princeton Pike (CR 583), before coming to a southbound ramp to Franklin Corner Road (CR 546). Continuing west, the road reaches a cloverleaf interchange withUS 206. I-295 has a northbound exit and southbound entrance serving Federal City Road, before leaving Lawrence Township and enteringHopewell Township. The median of the freeway widens as it runs near suburban residential areas; this is where theSomerset Freeway would have begun, had it been built. Upon entering Hopewell Township, the median narrows.^[8][14]

I-295 turns southwest past suburban development containing some farmland. It reaches the interchange withRoute 31 and passes throughEwing before returning to Hopewell Township, crossing underCSX Transportation'sTrenton Subdivision railroad line.^[14] The next interchange along the route provides access to Scotch Road (CR 611) andTrenton–Mercer Airport via a cloverleaf interchange. After Scotch Road (CR 611), the highway crosses back into Ewing Township and passes to the northwest of the airport. An interchange with Bear Tavern Road (CR 579) also serves Trenton–Mercer Airport.^[14][8] The freeway comes to the exit forRoute 29 that also has a northbound entrance fromRoute 175.^[14] At this point, maintenance of the road changes from the New Jersey Department of Transportation to theDelaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission, and I-295 widens from six to eight lanes.^[8] Immediately after the exit for Route 29, I-295 then crosses theDelaware River intoPennsylvania on the tolledScudder Falls Bridge. At the state line, I-295 transitions from a north–south road to an east–west road, with the northbound direction turning into the westbound direction upon crossing into Pennsylvania and the eastbound direction turning into the southbound direction upon crossing into New Jersey.^[8]

Upon crossing the Delaware River, I-295 becomes the Delaware Expressway and entersLower Makefield Township inBucks County, passing overPA 32 and reaching anelectronic toll gantry in the westbound direction. After crossing theDelaware Canal, I-295 reaches an exit for Taylorsville Road, which provides indirect access to PA 32, to the north ofYardley, and narrows to six lanes. Here, thePennsylvania Department of Transportation takes over maintenance of the road. At this interchange, the route changes cardinal directions, with northbound becoming westbound and eastbound becoming southbound. I-295 continues west-southwest near suburban residential areas and features a westbound rest area and weigh station. The freeway turns to the south and reaches the exit forPA 332 that servesNewtown to the west, narrowing again to four lanes. I-295 continues south near some farmland before passing near more homes with some commercial development. The freeway comes to a bridge overSEPTA'sWest Trenton Line and CSX Transportation's Trenton Subdivision before it crosses intoMiddletown Township and comes to a cloverleaf interchange withUS 1. Immediately after this interchange, I-295 passes over Norfolk Southern Railway'sMorrisville Line and CSX Transportation's Fairless Branch as it curves southwest, heading northwest of commercial development and theOxford Valley Mall. The freeway makes a curve to the south and becomes parallel to SEPTA's West Trenton Line and CSX Transportation's Trenton Subdivision to the west, passing underPA 213 without an interchange. The railroad tracks split to the west and I-295 reaches a diamond interchange withBus. US 1/PA 413 to the east ofPenndel. Following this interchange, the freeway crosses theMill Creek and runs south-southeast near suburban residential areas as it heads west ofLevittown. I-295 entersBristol Township and terminates at an interchange withI-95 at thePennsylvania Turnpike (I-276). At this interchange, I-295 merges into southbound I-95, with access from westbound I-295 to southbound I-95 and from northbound I-95 to eastbound I-295; there are no ramps connecting I-295 and the Pennsylvania Turnpike.^[7][8]

In the1927 New Jersey state highway renumbering,Route 39 was legislated to begin at theYardley–Wilburtha Bridge and bypass Trenton to the north and east before continuing south toHammonton along present-day US 206.^[15][16] Route 39, which was not built around Trenton, was decommissioned in the1953 New Jersey state highway renumbering.^[17][18]

Portions of I-295 in Salem and Gloucester counties predate the Interstate Highway System as part of freeway bypasses for the surface section of US 130/Route 44 through Carneys Point and betweenBridgeport and Westville. In 1948, the first section of the US 130/Route 44 bypass in Gloucester County between current exits 21 and 24 opened, with a second section between exits 14 and 21 opening in 1954. The section of the present highway between the New Jersey Turnpike and the present-dayCR 618 bridge was built as part of the US 130 bypass of Carneys Point in 1953.^[5] The concurrent Route 44 designation was removed from US 130 in the 1953 New Jersey state highway renumbering^[17][18] and was later assigned to the former surface alignment of US 130 through Carneys Point and between Bridgeport and Westville.^[19][20] In 1958, the US 130 bypass of Carneys Point and the freeway in Gloucester County was designated as part of I-295.^[4]

Construction on the Delaware Memorial Bridge began in 1949.^[21] At the same time, work was underway on the Delaware Memorial Bridge approach in Delaware, a divided highway which would begin at adirectional T interchange with US 13/US 202 in Farnhurst and head east to a cloverleaf interchange at New Castle Avenue (present DE 9) before leading to the bridge.^[22][23] Construction on the US 13/US 202 interchange at Farnhurst began on July 12, 1950.^[24] On August 16, 1951, the Delaware Memorial Bridge opened to traffic.^[25] The Delaware Memorial Bridge and the approach road to US 13/US 202 became a part of US 40 following the opening of the bridge.^[26] I-295 was designated onto the New Jersey approach of the bridge in 1958.^[4] That same year, construction began for a bridge at the Farnhurst interchange that would link the US 40 approach to the Delaware Memorial Bridge to the Delaware Turnpike that was proposed to run west to theMaryland state line.^[27] A year later, the Farnhurst interchange and the bridge approach were upgraded toInterstate Highway standards, and it was designated as part of I-295.^[28][29] Construction at the interchange connecting to the Delaware Turnpike at Farnhurst was completed in July 1961. On November 14, 1963, the Delaware Turnpike opened to traffic, with I-295 extended west (south) to I-95 at the northern terminus of the Delaware Turnpike, which continued south as I-95.^[30][31] In the middle of 1964, work began on a second span at the Delaware Memorial Bridge due to increasing traffic volumes. The second span of the bridge was opened to traffic in late 1968.^[32][33]

The remainder of I-295 through New Jersey was planned as Federal Aid Interstate Route 108, which was created by the New Jersey Department of Transportation in 1956. I-295 was built between Big Timber Creek and Route 42 in 1958. In 1960, the section of the Interstate between Route 42 and Warwick Road was finished. The highway was built between US 130 and Route 45 in 1960 and was extended east to the Big Timber Creek a year later. In 1963, I-295 was completed between Warwick Road and just south of Route 70. A year later, the roadway was extended north to Route 73. The freeway was built between Route 73 and Route 38 in 1966. In 1968, the section of I-295 between Carneys Point and Bridgeport was finished.^[5] Following the completion of this section, US 130 reverted to its previous surface alignment through Carneys Point, replacing that portion of Route 44.^[19] In 1972, the highway was finished between Route 38 and CR 541. I-295 was extended from CR 541 northward to US 130 near Bordentown a year later.^[5] I-295 was completed from US 1 west to a proposed interchange with I-95 inHopewell Township in 1974.^[34] In 1975, the roadway was constructed from south of the Route 33 interchange north to US 1. The section of I-295 between Arena Drive and south of Route 33 was finished in 1984. In 1987, I-295 was built between I-195/Route 29 and Arena Drive, with the highway between I-195/Route 29 and Route 33 opened to traffic on August 16 of that year. The final section of I-295 between US 130 in Bordentown and I-195/Route 29 was finished in 1994.^[5]

At its original northern terminus, the freeway continued west as I-95 toward theScudder Falls Bridge while I-95 was proposed to head north along the Somerset Freeway.^[34][35] In 1983, the Somerset Freeway portion of I-95 was canceled as a result of community opposition.^[36] In the 1990s, the northern terminus of I-295 was moved to the exit for US 1 in Lawrence Township, with the route west of there replaced by an extended I-95.^[37] Due to the cancelation of the Somerset Freeway, a gap existed along I-95 in New Jersey. To bridge the gap, motorists from northbound I-95 were directed to follow I-295 southbound and I-195 eastbound to reach the New Jersey Turnpike at exit 7A to continue north along I-95, and vice versa.^[8]

In 1995, the southbound rest area along I-295 in Burlington County was named for radio personalityHoward Stern. GovernorChristine Todd Whitman named the rest area after Stern as payback for him granting Whitman airtime during her1993 gubernatorial campaign. A plaque proclaiming the rest area as the "Howard Stern Rest Stop" was installed, with an image of Stern poking his head from anouthouse.^[38] Days after the plaque was installed, it was stolen and later mailed to Stern. In 2003, the rest areas along I-295 in Burlington County were closed as part of funding cuts in GovernorJim McGreevey's budget, saving the state $1 million a year.^[39][40]

In 2004, reconstruction was completed to the portion between exit 32 and exit 40. Sound walls were also installed along the rest of the road.^[41]

I-295, like many other highways in New Jersey, once had solar-powered emergencycallboxes every mile (1.6 km); the use of the callboxes became limited due to the increasing popularity of cellphones. To save on maintenance costs, the New Jersey Department of Transportation removed these callboxes in 2005.^[42]

An improvement of exit 19 was completed in 2009.^[40]

In preparation for the completion of the first stage of the interchange between I-95 and the Pennsylvania Turnpike in Bristol Township, the former route was truncated from New Jersey to the site of the interchange.^[43] In its place, I-295 was extended, ending at the unfinished interchange. The New Jersey Department of Transportation and the Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission completed Phases 1 and 2 of the redesignation in March 2018, extending the route from US 1 in Lawrence Township across the Scudder Falls Bridge to Taylorsville Road in Pennsylvania. The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation finished Phase 3 in July of the same year, signing their section as east–west despite its north–south alignment to avoid a change in direction from north to south on the same route.^[44] Between September 2005 and May 2015, New Jersey and Pennsylvania intended to extend I-195 around Trenton instead of I-295. This would have also truncated I-295 to its interchange with I-195 and Route 29. However, in 2015, plans changed once again to extend I-295.^[45] This was because of guidelines set by theAmerican Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials, which state that auxiliary Interstates with an odd-numbered first digit should only connect with their parent route once. Since the extended route would have two junctions with the parent route (I-95), a route number with an even-numbered first digit was considered more appropriate.^[46]

On September 22, 2018, the first stage of the interchange opened, allowing for I-95 to be routed onto the Pennsylvania Turnpike to connect to the New Jersey Turnpike, truncating the eastern terminus of I-276 to the new interchange and completing I-95 fromMiami to theCanadian border. However, there remains no access between I-295 and the Pennsylvania Turnpike (I-276), nor between I-295 westbound and I-95 northbound and vice versa. The next stage of the project will complete the movements at the interchange.^[47]

In early 2015, the Delaware River and Bay Authority began a project to reconstruct southbound I-295 between US 13/US 40 and I-95/I-495. The first phase, which took place between early 2015 and late 2016, reconstructed and repaved the left lanes of southbound I-295, reconstructed and repaved the right side of the ramps to US 13/US 40, I-495, and northbound I-95, and closed the ramp from northbound US 13 to southbound I-295 and built a new loop ramp. The second phase, which took place between 2016 and 2017, reconstructed and repaved the right lanes of southbound I-295, completed construction on the ramps from southbound I-295, and built a tunnel carrying the Jack A. Markell Trail under I-295. The final phase, which took place between 2017 and 2018, reconstructed the ramp from southbound US 13 to southbound I-295, removed the former ramp from northbound US 13 to southbound I-295, and reconstructed the left lane and shoulder on the ramps from southbound I-295 to I-95.^[48]

The structurally deficient Scudder Falls Bridge, that carried I-295 over theDelaware River betweenLower Makefield Township, Pennsylvania, andEwing, New Jersey, was in need of a replacement. Construction on a dual-span replacement bridge began in April 2017. The first span opened to Pennsylvania-bound traffic on July 10, 2019, and opened to New Jersey-bound traffic on July 24.^[49] Demolition of the original span commenced right after and construction of the second new span began afterwards, which opened in August 2021.^[50] The new bridge has six through-traffic lanes (three in each direction), acceleration and deceleration lanes, shoulders, and a shared bicycle and pedestrian path. Additionally, the two adjoining interchanges withRoute 29 and Taylorsville Road were reconstructed.^{[51][needs update]} Previously a toll-free crossing, on July 14, 2019, anelectronic toll was instituted for Pennsylvania-bound traffic, payable usingE-ZPass ortoll by plate.^[52]

The New Jersey Department of Transportation had also announced another project to address the missing connections between I-295 and Route 42 to provide an easier connection between thePhiladelphia metro area and points south toAtlantic City and vice versa. This project, dubbed the I-295/Route 42 Missing Moves, would provide connections from I-295 northbound to Route 42 southbound and Route 42 northbound to I-295 southbound by constructing two ramps just south of the I-295/I-76/Route 42 interchange. Construction began in March 2020, and the ramps opened to traffic on November 28, 2023.^[53][54]

On August 5, 2024, construction will begin to build an additional northbound lane for I-295 between the I-95 and US 13/US 40 interchanges. This project will provide a third lane for I-295 at the exit from I-95. This lane is being built to reduce traffic congestion along this stretch of road, which often backs up onto I-95. Construction is planned to be completed in the later part of 2025.^[55]

In 2013, the New Jersey Department of Transportation broke ground on a project to construct a straighter roadway for I-295 near the interchange of Route 42.^[56] This project, dubbed the I-295/I-76/Route 42 Direct Connection, will reconstruct the dangerous and congested Route 42/I-295/I-76 interchange, which currently requires traffic on I-295 to use 35-mile-per-hour (56 km/h) ramps that merge onto the North–South Freeway for a short distance, among a series of other indirect connections.^[57] In 2007, "Alternative D" for the reconstructed interchange was selected, calling for I-295 to cross over the North–South Freeway. This interchange was projected to cost $900 million (equivalent to $1.17 billion in 2024^[58]).^[59] The project is being constructed in four phases^[60] and was originally scheduled to be complete in 2021.^[61] However, delays in construction, including the collapse of aretaining wall on March 25, 2021, pushed the expected completion date to 2028.^[62]

In Delaware, the exit ontoDE 141 is the only exit in the state signed with anexit number.
