County Route 521 (New Jersey)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

County Route 521 is a county highway in the U.S. state of New Jersey. The highway extends 43.71 miles (70.34 kilometers) from High Street (CR 519) in Hope Township to the New York state line in Montague Township.

County Route 521, Hope-Blairstown Road intersects Interstate 80 at Exit 12 in Hope Township.

County Route 521 follows portions of the Military Road, a roadway built during the French and Indian War connecting Elizabethtown, New Jersey (now Elizabeth) with a string of fortifications constructed along the Delaware River in modern Sussex and Warren Counties in northwestern New Jersey.

County Route 521's crossing of the Lackawanna Cut-Off rail line in Blairstown in this November 2006 photo: the original one-lane 1910 reinforced concrete bridge (left) has been returned to mint condition and nears its grand reopening while its brand new, and virtually identical, sister bridge is already in service. The two bridges and the reconfigured access roadways serve to both preserve the original bridge and to provide highway standards that the Lackawanna Railroad's engineers never envisioned.
