It's time for a revamp. Ready? Here we go! Just like the other Yelpers who reviewed the AC Expressway, I always feel a surge of excitement every time I drive on this obviously brings me into the city. For those who are coming to AC from NYC, Central Jersey (where I came from), or various points North, this can easily be entered from the Garden State Parkway and US-9.
This expressway serves the purpose of going to Atlantic City for those who want to avoid the traffic lights on US-30 and US-322/US-40. What provokes anyone's excitement (including mine) on the expressway are the signs that show what's available in the city, what lane to be in or exit you should utilize in order to get to a certain resort or area, and of course, the Welcome Sign. For those who have to go to the Southern parts of the city, an exit is available to crossover to US-322/US-40 Southbound. For those who have to go the Borgata, Golden Nugget, and Harrah's resorts, an exit is available to get on the expressway connector and tunnel known as the Atlantic City-Brigantine Connector.
During the previous times when we've utilized this expressway, there was never a need for us to crossover to US-322/US-40. We always proceeded straight-forward to the Caesar's/Bally's area, and didn't consider going to the resorts that were separate from the boardwalk area. However, during our recent experience, we had to utilize the AC-Brigantine Connector in order to get to Harrah's. The signs were quite clear.
Just like the previous times on the expressway, the traffic leading up to the toll booth can be quite annoying. But if we want to get into the city, we have to do what we must. We'll be back here again in the future. Enjoy your trip. read more
