State Highways of New Jersey



NJ 173 is the portion of the old New Brunswick to Easton turnpike, old NJ 28 (now US 22), between Pohatcong and Clinton. This stretch has been bypassed by I-78. The state highway designation runs only between NJ 122 and NJ 31, although in each case the terminus is a few hundred feet east of the intersection.

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.
