Hackensack Plank Road
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Hackensack Plank Road, like its cousin routes, the Newark Plank Road and Paterson Plank Road, was a major artery in Colonial times. Hackensack Plank Road connected modern-day Hoboken / Weehawken to Hackensack, New Jersey, United States.
County Route 124 is part of the old Hackensack Plank Road, which traverses through Ridgefield and Ridgefield Park, where it ends at a washed-out bridge on the Hackensack River. The bridge was the site of the ferry that gave "Little Ferry" its name. 124 continues on the other side of the river, through Little Ferry and into downtown Hackensack.[1]
Other parts of include a section still named Hackensack Plank Road in Weehawken; 32nd Street in Union City, Bergen Turnpike in North Bergen; and Tonnelle Avenue and Broad Avenue in North Bergen and Ridgefield.[1]
