In the 1970s, a new freeway was built to bypass the existing NJ 24 between Millburn and Springfield. For a time, until I-78 was completed through the Watchung Reservation, the section of I-78 east of the merge also bore the NJ 24 designation. The concurrency was dropped after NJ 24 was extended westward in the early 1990s.
The current NJ 24 starts at I-287 in Hanover Township, a few miles north of Morristown, and runs down to I-78 in Springfield. While an extension beyond Hanover has been discussed, there are currently no plans in the works to build it. The bypassed old highway is now NJ 124, which straddles the NJ 24 freeway in the 1970s section where it runs along the county line between Summit and Millburn. West of I-287, traffic still uses either “old Route 24” or NJ 10, which sits a few miles to the north.
