[edit] Route description
Route 154 begins at CR 561 in Cherry Hill. It proceeds north, soon intersecting Kresson Road. Known as Brace Road, it intersects Bortons Mills Road. It moves north, soon intersecting Pearlcroft Road, and Munn Road. It passes by Kingsway Circle Park. It continues north, and ends at NJ 41/NJ 70 in Cherry Hill.[2]
[edit] History
Route 41 was originally planned to bypass the center of Haddonfield . In the 1953 renumbering, the New Jersey Department of Transportation decided to do away with the plans for a bypass. The section of the bypass that had already been created was set off as an unnumbered route, and was soon numbered Route 154. In the 1990s, the circle at the north end of Route 154 was rebuilt as an intersection with jughandles from Route 70. A connector road was soon built between Route 41/CR 573 and Route 154 south of the intersection, and 41 was routed along the connector; Route 154 now ends multiplexed with Route 41.[3]
From 1938 to 1992, the intersection between Routes 41, 70, and 154 was a traffic circle known as the Ellisburg Circle (and still referred to locally as such, although it is now a signalized intersection). Route 154 was unsigned until signage was installed as part of the circle removal project.
