Highways of Bergen County, New Jersey



Interstate 287 is a semi-beltway around New York City. It stretches from Woodbridge, N.J., at a junction with NJ 440 and the New Jersey Turnpike, out through Bridgewater, Basking Ridge, Morristown, Boonton, and up to Suffern, where it follows the New York State Thruway across the Tappan Zee Bridge and then the Cross-Westchester Expressway (a road also administered by the Thruway Authority) to the New England Thruway (I-95) at Port Chester.

The northernmost stretch in New Jersey, from Boonton to Mahwah, was not completed until 1993, thanks to arguments over property rights and wildlife conservation. Most of I-287 in Bergen County is included in this stretch, although the highway includes about a mile and a half previously designated NJ 208 and overlays the north end of NJ 17.

Only the 10.39-mile portion of the freeway in Bergen County is included here; the mile markers are from the highway's origin in Edison.
