History
The original plan of the Parkway was to extend to Passaic Avenue in West Caldwell on the northern end and to Route 24 in Chatham on the southern end. There is a complete cloverleaf interchange at Route 24, which would have been Interchange 5 on 24 (and there were once blank signs erected on 24 West). The bridges over Route 24, which would have been part of Eisenhower Parkway, are currently open to all-terrain vehicles. Had it been extended to the south, it was going to be called Triborough Road (at least in Chatham and Florham Park). Signage on the interchange bridge bears the name "Triborough Road".

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Psychology keeps trying to vindicate human nature. History keeps undermining the effort.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“Most events recorded in history are more remarkable than important, like eclipses of the sun and moon, by which all are attracted, but whose effects no one takes the trouble to calculate.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Literary works cannot be taken over like factories, or literary forms of expression like industrial methods. Realist writing, of which history offers many widely varying examples, is likewise conditioned by the question of how, when and for what class it is made use of.”
—Bertolt Brecht (1898–1956)
