Highways of Bergen County, New Jersey



Bergen County Road 91, Ramapo Valley Road, is logged under US 202. You'll find the details there.

County Road S-91

Bergen County Road S-91 is West Oakland Avenue and then Skyline Drive.

West Oakland Avenue continues southward into Pompton Lakes, where it becomes Colfax Avenue. There is no East Oakland Avenue; West Oakland Avenue runs through a part of town called West Oakland.

Skyline Drive is a beautiful (and hazardous in rain or snow) mountain crossing to Ringwood and the Wanaque Reservoir. The plans for NJ 208 envisioned a road going in roughly this direction and then heading north, perhaps paralleling Sloatsburg Road and Sterling Lake Road, but the highway would have been difficult to build over Ramapo Mountain and through what are now considered prime conservation areas. Much of its path in New York is part of Sterling Forest State Park, itself part of a greater Highlands land conservation effort.

New NJDOT overhead signage on West Oakland Avenue indicates that the road is part of primary route 4, even though Bergen County has apparently never signed it as such.
