Route 151 was a short, one-way pair state highway in the city of Camden, New Jersey from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard to County Route 537 (Federal Street) in the city. There was also an interchange with U.S. Route 30, and the entire roadway was near Interstate 676's Interchange 5A. Route 151 ran along South Tenth Street for eastbound traffic and South Eleventh Street for westbound traffic west of Mount Ephraim Avenue. From there, South Tenth was known as Flanders Avenue and South Eleventh was known as Memorial Avenue. At U.S. Route 30, the route continued bi-directionally as Flanders Avenue until its end at County Route 537.
Route 151 originated in 1946 law, when the state took over maintenance of the local streets. The route ran from State Highway Route 25 in Camden to a ferry at Market and Federal Streets for Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. By 1969, the route was decommissioned in its entirety with maintenance being turned over to the city of Camden. In 2008, the New Jersey Department of Transportation started reworking Route 151's former alignments as part of the Camden Central Gateway project, which was completed in February 2010.
