Tilghman Street is the main surface street of the area, passing from Fogelsville through Chapmans and Kuhnsville on its way to Cetronia and Allentown. Interstate 476, the Northeast Extension of the Pennsylvania Turnpike, forms the informal boundary between this area and the Cetronia and Walbert areas to the east. I-476 has an interchange with US 22 at the eastern edge of Kuhnsville.
