State Highways of New Jersey



NJ 124 is the section of the old Morris & Essex Turnpike that was taken over by the State Highway Commission between Morristown at NJ 32 (now US 202) and the Maplewood-Irvington township line in Essex County. The highway was designated as NJ 24 until the freeway bypass was completed, with the section from Millburn east receiving its new number in the 1970s and the section from Chatham west being re-designated in the 1990s.

The parts of the old turnpike beyond either end of NJ 124 are controlled by county authorities, and this may have always been the case even though NJ 24 was legislated to follow the entire turnpike. Signs designating the old turnpike as “NJ 24” are still in place in Morris County. However, Springfield Avenue in Irvington and Newark is signed only as a county highway.
