State Highways of New Jersey



NJ 47 is Delsea Drive, so named because it runs from the Delaware to the sea (actually, the Atlantic Ocean). I have no idea what parts of the road gained that name at what times, as NJ 47 did not always follow the same course through South Jersey. To this day, a few towns, like Millville, still use previously assigned local street names.

As originally designated, NJ 47 started from NJ 50 in Tuckahoe and headed west to Millville, and then turned right to head north through Malaga, Glassboro, and Westville, ending at the Camden circle. Meanwhile, NJ 49 started from Ocean View and headed on up through Port Elizabeth to Millville before turning left to Bridgeton and Salem. At some point, someone got the bright idea to have each highway run straight through their intersection in Millville, so the south end of NJ 49 became NJ 47 and the east end of NJ 47 became NJ 49. Also, the previous NJ S-49 spur from Dennisville to Rio Grande became part of NJ 47 instead and was extended to within one block of the ocean in Wildwood; the remaining five miles of old NJ 49 between Ocean View and Dennisville are now NJ 83.

The current northern terminus of NJ 47 is US 130 in Brooklawn, at the more easterly of the dual circles flanking the railroad tracks. The concurrency between NJ 47 and US 130 from there to the Camden circle was removed in 1953, along with most other duplications of state touring routes with US highways.
