State Highways of New Jersey
NJ 439 is a horseshoe around the edge of Elizabeth.
Originally, the highway crossed the Goethals Bridge and connected to NY 439, Forest Avenue, across Staten Island. With the completion of the Staten Island Expressway, New York eliminated the NY 439 designation from the books completely, leaving the bridge and the new expressway as I-278. In turn, New Jersey truncated NJ 439 before the bridge. Its origin is now at a county road from which one can find ramps to and from the bridge.
While NJ 439 intersects NJ 27 twice, it does not provide much of a shortcut, as the road is generally very busy through the Elmora Avenue shopping district. Perhaps its only advantage is that it is better signed than NJ 27 through downtown Elizabeth.
