Everything about The Trenton Freeway totally explained
The
Trenton Freeway, a
freeway through the city of
Trenton, New Jersey, was built in the 1950s; the entire length of the first 5.5-mile (8.8 km) segment of the freeway was completed in 1967. When it was first constructed, the freeway's route number designation was
Route 174. The original freeway only extended up to Whitehead Road in
Lawrence Township. In 1967, the
New Jersey Department of Transportation recommended an extension of the freeway from Whitehead Road to the traffic light at Bakers Basin Road and Franklin Corner Road. Once the 1.5 mile extension was completed, the route number was then changed to
U.S. Route 1. The former alignment of U.S. 1 along surface streets in Trenton was renumbered
U.S. Route 1 Business.
During the development of the
Interstate Highway System,
New Jersey and
Pennsylvania considered having
Interstate 95 cross over the
Trenton-Morrisville Toll Bridge, and continue north on the existing U.S. 1. The project was opposed due to inadequate highway standards (lack of shoulder ramps, and only a mere two lanes in each direction). During this time, both states sought alternate routes for the proposed I-95. In 1960, New Jersey and Pennsylvania decided to designate the
Scudder Falls Bridge as I-95.
