40 was renumbered to 70 in 1953 to avoid duplication with US 40, but the ends were changed at that time.

Historic Western End

40 ended with 38 at US 30/US 130 at Airport Circle in Pennsauken.


38/historic 40 west approaching and in Airport Circle.


30 east at 130. 70 is signed here but only historically did 40 begin here with 38.


30 west/130 north at Airport Circle. In the circle itself, US 130 has another exit to 30 west.


The next exit on 130 north after 30 west leaves is to 38/historic 40 east.


130 south at and in Airport Circle. 30 east is on a flyover ramp and has not yet joined.

Historic Eastern End

40 ended at NJ 34/NJ 35, which is now the junction of NJ 70/NJ 88.


70 east, historically the end of 40 east. 35 followed what is now 88 and 34 began straight ahead on 70 on the other side of what was then a circle.


Following conversion of the circle to a five-leg intersection, 88 east is no longer able to turn left to continue on itself. This sign faces Post Rd. north, which maintains a through route for 88 east traffic that duplicates the original movement of 35 north leaving the end of 40.
