Reducing The
Crossing Peril
Notable Road improvements
ON Routes To and From
Shore
sMALAGA DEATH LOOP"

Elimination of dangerous grade
crossings on main motor routes to
and from the shore resorts has
made notable progress with the
road construction program in south
ern Jersey this season. State and
| county schedules for new pavings
are practically finished and all work
will be completed before the snow
flies.
Most outstanding of the projects
in the lower counties by the State
Highway Department this season
has been the elimination of the
| Malaga death loop" for shoreward
bound motorists over the Delsea
Drive. This has been carried out
by the construction of a cut off par
allel with the tracks of the West
Jersey & Seashore Railroad at Nal
| aga in conjunction with the paving
of the remaining five-mile stretch
between Malaga and Downstown.
AS soon as the summer traffic is
over the cut off which was graded
last spring is also to be paved
This will provide a completely paw
ed route all the way from Camden
to Atlantic City. When the new
/ Crescent Boulevard extension at
Westville is completed virtually all
grade crossings on the Delsea
Drive and the Harding Highway
into Atlantic City will have been
eliminated.
The project at Westville and
North Woodbury., which got off to a
good start this season with the fill
ing in of the meadows at Brook
lawn and grading for the new route.
is even considerably bigger I'M
dertaking than that at Malaga. The
major part of this operation will be
included in the States 1929 high
way program when it is proposed
to construct a new traffic bridge
across the Big Timber Greek at
Westville.
This will work out as a connect
ing link with the Crescent Boule-
ward, also will eliminate further
grade crossings in lnGt city and will
be constructed with State, county
and city funds.
AS further adjunct of the Del
sea Drive system, near Westville,
Gloucester County shortly will COM
plete the paving of the Clements
Bridge Road. This will provide a
short cut from Woodbury. to Had
donfield.
Another State highway project in
Gloucester County has been the
raising and widening of the cause
way at Paulsboro, on the Penns-
e-Westville road.
Completion of the Paulsboro-Jef-
ferson Road, paved for a distance
of seven miles, was one of the it.

cester County by the county board
