Older NB LGS.


One of Michael Summa's oldest photos, dating to 1969, in the circle marking the southeastern end of the NJ 33/34 duplex. The N.A.D. Earle sign is the most outdated of all, because it's black on white and refers to what is now Naval Weapons Station Earle. The two LGS's are non-reflective, too.


NJ 33/34 WB/NB where they're about to break up. Both highways go from being four-lane divided (well, 33 was undivided just east of the other end of the duplex) to two-lane undivided, but NJ 34 has plenty of clear space to the east to become four lanes if traffic warrants, right on up to NJ 18 through U.S. Naval Weapons Station Earle. (Unlike CR 545 and NJ 68, NJ 34 survives its trip through the military base.) Honestly, if the Freehold bypass on NJ 33 is a four-lane freeway, 33 should be four lanes coming out of this wye as well.


The old hospital sign is southbound at Lloyd Rd. in Strathmore (a section of Matawan), and points to CR 3 NB. The SOUTH CR 3 assembly is to the right, and you can't see any evidence of NJ 34 SB continuing straight.


A rare style of bridge dating; usually bridges from the 1930's and 1940's had the state highway number and bridge date stamped into the side of an abutment, and then into the 1950's there would be tile set into the side of the overpass or underpass with that same information. These tiles didn't hold up very well, and maybe that's why they're so hard to find (and maybe that's why it was so easy for me to pick a piece out of the concrete nacelle left to the east).
