New or upgrade traffic signal at intersection, PHASE3, various MPS, camden city, camden county, local mobility improvements- preliminary engineering

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded $424,910.05 to the New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) on September 11, 2025, under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) for preliminary engineering services related to traffic signal installation and upgrades. The project, designated as Phase 3 of the Local Mobility Improvements initiative in Camden City, Camden County, New Jersey, encompasses preliminary engineering work for new or upgraded traffic signals at seven intersections: Atlantic Avenue & South 8th Street, Atlantic Avenue & South 9th Street, Atlantic Avenue & Mount Ephraim Avenue, South 6th Street & Carl Miller Boulevard, South 6th Street & Ferry Avenue, Morgan Street & South 8th Street, and Morgan Street & South 9th Street. The award is scheduled for ultimate completion by December 31, 2030.

As a formula grant under the Federal-aid Highway Program, this funding supports the planning and design phase of traffic signal infrastructure improvements that enhance safety and mobility within Camden's urban transportation network. The preliminary engineering deliverables will establish the technical and design specifications necessary for subsequent construction phases of these safety improvement projects. NJDOT, as the state transportation department administering the award, will manage project execution in coordination with local officials and regional planning authorities consistent with federal-aid highway program requirements and environmental compliance obligations.
