Route 73 is a
state highway in the southern part of the U.S. state of
New Jersey. It runs 34.64 mi (55.75 km) as an outer bypass of the
Camden area from an intersection with
U.S. Route 322 (US 322) in
Folsom,
Atlantic County, north to the
Tacony–Palmyra Bridge in
Palmyra,
Burlington County, where the road continues into
Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania, as
Pennsylvania Route 73 (PA 73). South of the interchange with the
Atlantic City Expressway in
Winslow Township,
Camden County, Route 73 is a two-lane undivided county-maintained road and is signed as
County Route 561 Spur (
CR 561 Spur), a spur of
CR 561. North of the Atlantic City Expressway, the route is maintained by the
New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) and is mostly four lanes, with the portion north of the CR 561
concurrency a
divided highway. North of the
US 30 interchange near
Berlin, Route 73 runs through suburban areas of the
Delaware Valley metropolitan area, intersecting
Route 70 in
Marlton, the
New Jersey Turnpike and
Interstate 295 (I-295) in
Mount Laurel,
Route 38 and
Route 41 in
Maple Shade Township,
Route 90 in
Cinnaminson Township, and
US 130 in
Pennsauken Township.
What is today Route 73 between the Tacony–Palmyra Bridge and Berlin was legislated as
Route S41 in 1927, a spur of Route . An extension of this spur called
Route S41A was designated in 1938 to continue south from Berlin to
Route 42 (now US 322) in Folsom. In 1953, both these routes became Route 73 in order to match PA 73. The portion of Route 73 between Berlin and the Atlantic City Expressway became a state highway by 1969. By the 2000s, Route 73 was extended south along CR 561 Spur to US 322. Several
traffic circles along Route 73 have been modified or replaced over time. Among these was the
Berlin Circle, which was turned into an at-grade intersection in 2006. The
Marlton Circle at Route 70, which was modified in 1974 to allow Route 73 to pass through the circle, was replaced with an interchange completed in 2011. (
