State Highways of New Jersey



NJ 38 is the rare highway that actually goes exactly where it was specified in the 1927 state highway legislation, and with the same route number to boot. Well, almost. The 1927 act said Route No. 38 would run from Route No. 25 in Merchantville (now US 130) to Route No. 39 in Eastampton; it actually ends up at what is now US 206 in Southampton, a mile or two to the south.

Several years later, it was proposed that NJ 38 head across the Pine Barrens, thus connecting Camden with Belmar. A short stretch of the highway was built between Wall and Belmar, now known as NJ 138, but nothing was built between Southampton and Wall. Similarly, NJ 37 was legislated from Trenton clear across to Toms River, but it was never built across the Pine Barrens either. Eventually, the two proposals to cross the state were combined into a single Federal-aid project, resulting in I-195 between Hamilton and Wall, where it met NJ 138 and provided a connection between Trenton and Belmar. NJ 70 was deemed to be a sufficient route between Camden and the Toms River area, while the Garden State Parkway in the east and I-295 in the west handle any necessary north-south movements.
