New Jersey Route 147

Route 147 begins at an intersection with US 9 in the Burleigh section of Middle Township, heading to the east along North Wildwood Boulevard, a two-lane undivided road. The road passes residences and businesses to the north and woodland to the south before coming to a partial cloverleaf interchange with the Garden State Parkway that has access to the northbound direction of the parkway and from the southbound direction of the parkway. ==History==

What is now Route 147 was an unimproved road back in 1927. When the 500-series county routes were established in the 1950s, this road became a part of CR 585, a route that ran from Route 109 (then a part of US 9) in Lower Township north to US 30 and Route 157 in Absecon. The route was also designated as part of CR 18, which continued west past US 9 to Route 47. On November 1, 1971, Route 147 was designated to replace the portion of CR 18/CR 585 between US 9 in Burleigh and the North Wildwood border. As a result of the bridge replacement, Route 147 was realigned off its former drawbridge, and the former alignment became CR 665. The southern terminus of CR 585 was eventually truncated its current location at Route 52 in Somers Point. By the 1990s, Route 147 was extended to its current terminus at New York Avenue in North Wildwood. In 2020, NJTA proposed a $10 million project to reconstruct the partial interchange between Route 147 and the Garden State Parkway into a full interchange. ==Major intersections==
