Route 44 is a state highway in the U.S. state of New Jersey. It runs 10.28 miles (16.54 km) from Bridgeport to Thorofare, intersecting with U.S. Route 130 at both ends. At the Thorofare end, U.S. 130 is concurrent with Interstate 295. In fact, Route 44 is an old alignment for U.S. 130; the state highway was created when U.S. 130 moved to the I-295 concurrency.
Before the 1953 New Jersey state highway renumbering, Route 44 extended further north and south along U.S. 130 and Route 49, from Camden to Salem. It was removed from these sections in the renumbering to avoid the concurrency with US 130.

[edit] Route S44
Route S44 was built in 1937 as a connection from Route 44 to the ferry to Chester, Pennsylvania. It was concurrent with U.S. Route 322. In 1974, the Commodore Barry Bridge was built, bypassing the ferry, and the old alignment of US 322 became Route 324.
[edit] Route S44A
Route S44A was planned in 1938 as an eastern bypass of Camden from Brooklawn to Haddonfield, mostly along what is now County Route 551. The bypass was never built, although part of what would have been the bypass north of Haddonfield is now Route 41.
[edit] Route 44T
Route 44T was planned as an approach to a never-built tunnel under the Delaware River near Paulsboro. It would have run from the tunnel to Route 42 between Blackwood and Williamstown.
