History
Route 122 originates as an alignment of U.S. Route 22, which was designated in 1926 as part of the highway system, coming in on the Phillipsburg-Easton Bridge. The route continued as U.S. Route 22 until the completion of the bypass around Phillipsburg, which US 22 was transferred to the bypass. The former alignment became U.S. Route 22 Alternate, lasting through the 1953 state highway renumbering. The route continued to run from the Phillipsburg-Easton Bridge to US 22, until 1993, when US 22 Alternate was decommissioned and replaced by NJ 122 and County Route 678.
