State Highways of New Jersey

NJ 19 began its life as a proposed spur from the Garden State Parkway into downtown Paterson. The northbound interchange from the Parkway is designated 155P as a result. The road was eventually built by the New Jersey Department of Transportation rather than by the New Jersey Highway Authority, which controlled the Parkway.

Either in a bout of confusion or with grand plans to link the road to the existing NJ 20 by looping it along the Passaic River, the road was originally labeled NJ 20. Once it was clear that the sections of NJ 20 would never be connected, this highway was renamed NJ 19 in 1985.

State control begins along Broad Street, SR 509, about 100 feet south of Colfax Avenue in Clifton, at the end of an exit ramp from Route 46. Construction in the late 1980s extended the road north of I-80 to the fringe of Paterson’s Great Falls district, and the highway is now designated all the way to Main Street, although state control ends about 600 feet before the intersection.
