State Highways of New Jersey

The original route of NJ 17N included parts of the Newark-Hackensack Turnpike and parts of the Paramus Road and Franklin Turnpike; each of these was bypassed. By 1928, the section of NJ 2 east of Polifly Road was open; by 1934, the current route was complete to Suffern.

As the importance of NJ 17 grew in the 1950s, it became necessary to expand the road. NJ 17 grew from four to six lanes between Rutherford and Hasbrouck Heights and through Paramus in the 1970s; the road north of Paramus was gradually improved as well, and the last traffic light in that area, at Lake Street in Ramsey, was removed in the late 1980s when a new overpass was installed. However, engineering concerns and the need to not displace business on the road have conspired to keep the highway at four lanes through Maywood and Rochelle Park, creating a bottleneck that jams rush-hour traffic daily.

The original cloverleaf at NJ 17 and NJ 4, completed in 1932, was replaced in a 1998 project that also upgraded access to the Garden State Plaza shopping center. NJ 17 was shifted about 50 feet to the west, and flyover ramps were built to carry traffic making left turns from NJ 17 onto NJ 4.
