It is located at the intersection of Route 38, U.S. Route 30 (US\u00a030), and US\u00a0130,[1] close to the Camden border. South of the circle, US\u00a030 and US\u00a0130 run concurrently until they reach the former Collingswood Circle in Collingswood. The Airport Circle opened in 1927 and is the first of is kind in the United States. It is named for Camden Central Airport whose terminal building was located beside the circle, to the south-east. The circle has been modified to include traffic lights and ramps to help move traffic through.[2]       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4Table of ContentsDescription[edit]History[edit]See also[edit]References[edit]External links[edit]Description[edit]The Airport Circle is located in Pennsauken Township in Camden County, east of the city of Camden. The circle serves as the junction between US\u00a030, US\u00a0130, Route\u00a038, and County Route\u00a0607 (CR\u00a0607, Kaighns Avenue). From the circle, US\u00a0130 heads northeasterly on six-lane divided highway called Crescent Boulevard, US\u00a030 continues westward onto six-lane divided Admiral Wilson Boulevard, CR\u00a0607 runs westerly along two-lane undivided Kaighns Avenue, US\u00a030\/US 130 continues southward on six-lane divided Crescent Boulevard, and Route\u00a038 heads to the easterly as a six-lane divided road, coming to an interchange with Route\u00a070 a short distance later. All five roadways have ramps that feed into the circle itself, with traffic lights that govern movements at the ramps from westbound Route\u00a038, southbound US\u00a0130, and eastbound US\u00a030 and a stop sign at the ramp from Kaighns Avenue. The ramp from westbound US\u00a030\/northbound US\u00a0130 merges into the main circle. The mainline of US\u00a0130 passes through the circle. There are flyover ramps that carry the mainline of US\u00a030 through the circle. The eastbound US\u00a030 ramp heads into the center of the circle, where a ramp for eastbound Route\u00a038 splits and continues east over the circle to connect to that route. Eastbound US 30 merges with southbound US 130 in the median of that route. The flyover ramp carrying westbound US\u00a030 forks to the right from northbound US\u00a0130 and heads to the east of the circle, passing over Route\u00a038 before coming to a ramp connecting westbound Route\u00a038 to westbound US\u00a030. The ramp heads over US\u00a0130, with a ramp from the southbound direction of that route, before continuing west and merging with the ramp to US\u00a030 westbound from the center of the circle. To the north of the circle is a residential neighborhood while the Airport Industrial Park is to the southeast. Other commercial and industrial establishments surround the circle to the northeast and west.[3][4]History[edit]Built in 1925, the Airport Circle is New Jersey’s first traffic circle.[5][6] The circle opened to traffic on July 1, 1927, as the first such traffic rotary in the United States.[7][8] It is named for the former Camden Central Airport,[5] an airport that operated in this vicinity between 1929 and 1957.[9] The Airport Circle was later modified to include overhead ramps and traffic lights to move traffic through.[8]The world’s first drive-in theater opened June 6, 1933, on Admiral Wilson Boulevard at Airport Circle a short distance from Cooper River Park.[10][11]       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4See also[edit]References[edit]^ Genovese, Peter (2007).
