Route 175 is a 2.95-mile (4.75 km) state highway in New Jersey, United States, running along an old alignment of Route 29 from Trenton north into Ewing Township. The road serves as a frontage road on the east side of Route 29, beginning in Trenton by splitting from northbound Route 29 as a one-way northbound section of Sanhican Drive, maintained by Mercer County. State maintenance begins at the line with Ewing Township, where the road continues as River Road. At West Upper Ferry Road, Route 175 turns east and crosses the old Delaware and Raritan Canal feeder before turning north on Upper River Road, passing an onramp to Interstate 95 north, and merging with Route 29. The ramp to I-95 allows access from Route 29 south to I-95 north, which is not included in the otherwise-complete interchange of the two roads.
[edit] History
Route 175 in Ewing Township was taken over by the state from the county in 1945 as part of Route 29. A new alignment of Route 29 was built closer to the Delaware River in the early 1960s, and in 1963 the old alignment was designated as Route 175.
