New Jersey Route 29 through Trenton includes a half mile tunnel beside Lamberton Street along the Delaware River. Opened on March 3, 2002, the tunnel was built as part of a $105 million project to reconstruct Route 29 southward from the city to Interstates 195 and 295. The tunnel project was delayed, taking four and a half years to complete with $15 million in additional costs. It was the final piece of the Trenton Complex project which included construction of Route 129 and the interchange between I-195/295 to the southeast (The Times, 2002).

Started in the 1960s, the 3.2 mile long freeway along Route 29 was planned between Downtown Trenton and the exchange between I-195 and I-295. Until 1998, all but the 1.4 mile gap between the two segments was complete. Traffic between the completed sections was routed along Lamberton Road, a two lane residential street, until 2002. The street was never apart of Route 29 officially (road-technology.com, n.d.).
