History
Legislated in 1911, this was New Jersey's second state highway. Legislation in 1913 provided for the extension of the Delaware River Drive to Cape May.
The Egan Bill of 1916, and the Edge Bill of 1917 did not provide for a route along the Delaware River; the Delaware River Drive may be considered to have been decommissioned by these acts.
This route, and the Ocean Highway predated any highway numbering system in New Jersey, and may be considered a transition between the early auto trails and modern state highways.
