| NJDOT 1916 Annual Report: Camden to Absecon. —Beginning at the While Horse pike, Camden city line, and following the present line through to Absecon, with the exception of a realignment around Hammonton. |
| NJDOT 1917 Annual Report: Route No. 3 Camden to Absecon, by way of Berlin and Hammonton, following what is known as the "White Horse Pike." A complete, detailed survey was made of this route, including surveys of three possible routes through the town of Hammonton, one via the Wilsey Mills Road from Elm to the Egg Harbor road south of Hammonton; one from Elm, via Main Road to Hammonton Lake, and through De Costa to Egg Harbor Road. A line was surveyed to carry the route along westerly side of railroad from a point near Acto bridge to a connection with the Ancora bridge. This eliminates the bridges at Atco and Waterford, which have very bad curves at their entrances. From the Ancora bridge to Absecon no changes are contemplated, except flattening of existing curves. |
