 This portion was also designated as part of County Route 536 with the creation of the 500-series county routes in 1952.When the Commodore Barry Bridge opened in 1974 and replaced the ferry across the Delaware River, US 322 was moved to the new bridge approach and the former piece of the route to the ferry dock became Route 324.In the 1960s, plans started forming for a freeway along the US 322 corridor in Gloucester County.
