Facility Overview
The 2000 Clements Bridge Rd Parking facility serves as the expansive, dedicated open-air surface parking area for Deptford Landing, one of the premier open-air regional retail shopping centers in Gloucester County, New Jersey. Conveniently positioned right along the heavily traveled Route 42 corridor, this expansive facility features thousands of clearly demarcated, ground-level parking stalls laid out across wide, asphalt-paved aisles designed for effortless vehicular circulation.
Because the facility is a completely open-air surface lot with no ceiling decks, low-hanging pipes, or overhead beam restrictions, it provides unlimited vertical clearance. It easily accommodates all vehicle classes, including compact passenger cars, full-sized pickup trucks (such as Ford F-Series and Chevy Silverados), extra-large SUVs, commercial cargo vans, high-roof fleet vehicles, and vehicles equipped with roof racks or cargo carriers. The generous turning radii and bidirectional driving lanes ensure smooth navigation for both small cars and heavy commercial vans.

The center features immediate on-ramp and off-ramp connectivity to Route 42 (North-South Freeway), which directly links drivers to Interstate 295, New Jersey Route 55, and the New Jersey Turnpike within minutes. Ingress and egress are supported by wide internal perimeter roads that route traffic efficiently away from storefronts, allowing vehicles to exit onto Clements Bridge Road with minimal friction during peak shopping periods.

- Signalized Exits: When exiting onto Clements Bridge Road during rush hour, always route toward the primary traffic lights rather than attempting unsignalized left turns across multilane traffic.
- Pickup Stall Etiquette: Pay attention to curbside pickup stanchions and signage near the front of Walmart and surrounding stores; avoid parking in designated online fulfillment spaces unless picking up an active order.
- Vehicle Safety: Park within reasonable proximity to shopping cart corrals to keep your vehicle protected from windblown carts on breezy days.
