History
The alignment of Route 67 originates as a portion of State Highway Route 18N, a state highway that survived the 1927 state highway renumbering from its commissioning in 1923. State Highway Route 18N lasted only two years after the 1927 renumbering, being designed as part of State Highway Route S-1 and State Highway Route 1 and State Highway Route S-1-A, which was designated along current Route 67 as a spur of Route S-1. State Highway Route S-1-A remained intact until the second state highway renumbering on January 1, 1953, when it was re-designated as Route 67. The alignment of Route 67 has remained virtually untouched since the 1953 renumbering. On December 8, 1977, the New Jersey Department of Transportation approved a measure that Route 67 in downtown Fort Lee was declared a No Passing Zone.
