New Jersey Roads - NJ 45/CR 551




Nothing wrong with two shields on the signal overheads, but there shouldn't be a line separating them. A road name (Harding Highway) would be nice. On Bailey St. in Woodstown, courtesy Scott Colbert.


Old 45 shield on the brief Woodstown multiplex, also courtesy Scott Colbert.


CR 538 WB, courtesy Scott Colbert. No reason to cover over those arrows - except, as noted by Barry Berman, they were pointing the wrong way. Why not just fix them with patches? He doesn't know, and neither do I.


There are tons of old NJ 45 shields around, mostly standalones, but this one drags an old NJ 77 shield with it.


Now skipping up to Woodbury, there's one of these large old signs NB and this one is SB, along the NJ 45/CR 551 duplex.


This old iron-railing bridge doesn't seem like it was built by the state, so probably predates the state highway system.


Really old street sign and then even older CR shield, the tiny size, NB leaving Woodbury with no 45 shield around. Keep following CR 551 (via the link below) to see another one just north of here.


After this shield, a ramp comes out of the median of 45 and joins the freeway. It looks like that because of the railroad tracks just to the east, which separate NJ 45 and CR 551. CR 551 also has its own ramps to I-295, and unlike the ones at 45, the 551 ramps allow movements to/from the north and south; in both locations, though, there are no ramps heading west on I-295 (which is signed north-south but really isn't).


Where would you like to go today? Unfortunately, you don't get that choice, as this is really NORTH US 130 and the end of NJ 45 NB.
