New Jersey Route 129
Route 129 is a major arterial boulevard state highway in the capital city of Trenton, New Jersey. The highway runs along Canal Boulevard, a four-lane arterial through portions of Trenton, serving as an alternative highway to its parent, Route 29. The route begins at an intersection with Lamberton Road in Hamilton Township, heads northward along the River Line maintained by New Jersey Transit until terminating at an interchange with U.S. Route 1 (the Trenton Freeway).
The original use of Route 129 opened in 1961 on what is now Interstate 95 from the Scudders Falls Bridge to Scotch Road in Trenton. The route was replaced in 1974 by Interstate 95, while the route's current incarnation opened in September 1993 along a former portion of the Delaware and Raritan Canal. The route has remained virtually untouched since its opening.
