Daily News | Camden County gets $19M toward building 34-mile trail starting at Ben Franklin Bridge
the length of the county from the Ben Franklin Bridge to Winslow Township just got a big boost from the federal government: $19 million.
The money comes from the Department of Transportation’s RAISE program and will go toward building much of the first 6-mile segment of the LINK Trail from Camden City to the Cooper River in Pennsauken, complete with a swing bridge that would allow runners, walkers and cyclists to pass. The county applied for the same grant last year but was denied. So officials say it was a relief to learn their application was successful this year. Nash said U.S. Rep. Donald Norcross, a Democrat who represents the city and a swath of South Jersey, advocated for the grant.
Sarah Clark Stuart, chair of the Circuit Trails Coalition, called the grant “big news for our region” because it will help “provide equitable access to trails, walking and biking across Southern Jersey, and help us achieve our short-term goal of completing 500 miles of Circuit Trails by 2025.”
