 By the end of the 1970s, the US 322 freeway was canceled due to the desire to use highway funds for mass transit.However, plans resurfaced for a freeway along the US 322 corridor in 1987, when Congressman William J. Hughes made a proposal for a road running from the New Jersey Turnpike to the Atlantic City Expressway, with access to the Route 55 freeway.This proposal was never built though.
