State Highways of New Jersey

NJ 4 was built in the early 1930s, using both existing roads and new construction. At that time, the road was projected to go all the way to Cape May, although it was never designated between Paterson and Woodbridge. US 9 mostly follows a 1940s alignment of NJ 4 south of Sayreville. The Garden State Parkway was originally envisioned as a later bypass of NJ 4.

The existing section of NJ 4, between Paterson and Fort Lee, is a busy expressway for its easternmost eight miles, but it starts out from Paterson as a local four-lane road. For much of its expressway length, NJ 4 is three lanes wide, but this was accomplished by sacrificing shoulders in towns like Paramus and Hackensack. The result is one of New Jersey's most dangerous highways. Eastbound NJ 4 is two lanes wide through much of Teaneck, causing a morning rush bottleneck.

The original designation of NJ 4 continued onto the George Washington Bridge, but today the designation ends when it reaches the bridge approach roads.
