25M was eliminated in 1953 because it was redundant with US 130. When US 130 was truncated in 1969, 171 was established with the same historic ends as 25M.

Historic Northern End

Until 2019, 171 extended to the historic northern end of US 130 in downtown New Brunswick at NJ 27/CR 514/CR 527. All of the streets it followed were city maintained, which may explain the decommissioning.
