In Union Township (Hunterdon County), I-78 landed right on top of old Route 22, so NJ 173 joins it for about half a mile in each direction before splitting off. In this split section, NJ 173 actually serves as the frontage roads for I-78 for a short distance, a distinction also shared by NJ 124, the old alignment of NJ 24, as the freeway runs along the Essex-Union county line. NJDOT logs the westbound roadway of NJ 173 separately from the eastbound roadway for a while; I have combined these logs (as much as possible) below.
