State Highways of New Jersey



US 22 in New Jersey includes parts of several state highways, both old and new.

As originally legislated, NJ 24 and NJ 28 were both to start in Phillipsburg, with NJ 24 taking the more northerly Morris & Essex Turnpike through Morristown and ending up at NJ 27 in Newark, while NJ 28 would follow the Easton & New Brunswick Turnpike out to Somerville and then head over to Elizabeth. Meanwhile, NJ 29 was to originate in Trenton, head up the Delaware River to Lambertville, cut across to Flemington and Somerville, and then hug the base of the Watchung Mountains before finishing in Newark at NJ 25 (now US 1/9).

When the American Association of State Highway Officials designated US 22 as a route between Newark and Cincinnati, New Jersey routed the highway over NJ 28 and NJ 29, utilizing the “28-29 link” between the two highways in Bridgewater. Part of the original section of NJ 28 in Phillipsburg and Pohatcong is now NJ 122. Later, Pennsylvania expanded its section of US 22 by building the Lehigh Valley Thruway; it connected to NJ 24 via a toll bridge, so US 22 was then routed along a couple miles of NJ 24 (now NJ 57) before turning southward on the “24-28 link” in Lopatcong and Pohatcong to reach the existing US 22 along NJ 28.

When I-78 was built, a 14-mile stretch of US 22 (which was no longer designated NJ 28 because most duplications were eliminated in 1953) was relocated onto the freeway. The old US 22 became NJ 173 at that time.
