Highways of Bergen County, New Jersey


County Road 14A

Bergen County Road 14A, formerly S-55, Hoboken Road, is a direct line that avoids the bend in Paterson Avenue, CR 14. The road traverses a steep hill – which is exactly why Paterson Avenue, originally Paterson Plank Road, bends around. Horse-drawn carriages would not have navigated the hill as well as today’s motor vehicles. By the 1930s, however, CR S-55 bore the designation NJ 3 instead of Paterson Avenue. The NJ 3 designation was dropped when the state revamped its highway numbering in 1953; by that time, NJ S-3 (now NJ 3) was nearly complete.

Hoboken Road forms the border between East Rutherford to the south and Carlstadt to the north.
