State Highways of New Jersey


NJ 48 is the beginning of a fairly straight road from Penns Grove to Mays Landing which was first created as the Penns Grove Turnpike, which ran to Daretown (west of Elmer). The road became known as the Harding Highway after the president’s death in 1923. The entire road was legislated as a state highway in 1927, but much of it is now part of US 40. At one time, the highway continued west of US 130 to the ferry landing, but that stretch is now maintained by Salem County.
