 Most of US 30 in New Jersey follows the White Horse Pike , a turnpike chartered in 1854 to run from Camden to Stratford and eventually toward Atlantic City . In 1917 , pre @-@ 1927 Route 3 was legislated to run from Camden to Absecon on the White Horse Pike , while US 30 was designated in New Jersey in 1926 to connect Camden and Atlantic City via the White Horse Pike . A year later , pre @-@ 1927 Route 3 was replaced by Route 43 , which ran between US 130 near Camden and US 9 ( now Route 157 ) in Absecon , and Route 25 was designated along the portion of US 30 between the Ben Franklin Bridge and US 130 . The segment of US 30 past Route 43 into Atlantic City became Route 56 in 1938 . In 1953 , the state highway designations were removed from US 30 . A freeway was proposed for US 30 in Camden County during the late 1960s , running from Camden to Berlin ; however , it was never built .
