County Road 56 used Fort Lee Road across the Overpeck swamp until the Bergen-Passaic Expressway was built. At that time, DeGraw Avenue was extended instead; that road is now CR 12. This very short remnant of Fort Lee Road remains under county control.

The old pavement tails off into the distance beyond the posted end of the road. This road once crossed Overpeck Creek into Leonia, but was removed when the Bergen-Passaic Expressway was built. The land is now part of Overpeck County Park.
