New Jersey Route 143
Route 143 is a 2.43 miles (3.91 km) long state highway in New Jersey, United States. It is a short route in Winslow Township, Camden County, running along Spring Garden Road between Cedarbrook Road and White Horse Pike (U.S. Route 30). The route's southern terminus is at an intersection with County Route 561 and Camden County Route 726 in Winslow Township. The route heads along the old alignment of New Jersey Route 43, intersecting with U.S. Route 30 and ending a short distance afterward, where it continues as Camden County Route 716.
The use of this route number reflects the former designation of the White Horse Pike as Route 43. Route 43 itself, dates back to the original state highway system in New Jersey, which it was designated as State Highway Route 3. The route was renumbered 43 in the 1927 state highway renumbering, using most of U.S. Route 30 for its alignment. The route remained intact until 1953, when another renumbering occurred, decommissioning Route 43 entirely. The highway was revived in a short portion in 1955, receiving a designation in 1989.
