[edit] Route description

Route 185 is a 0.65 mile freeway in the Greenville neighborhood of Jersey City.[1] It is parallel to Interstate 78 (the Newark Bay Extension of the New Jersey Turnpike) on the eastern side. On Route 440, signs pointing the way to Route 185 imply that the highway runs directly to Liberty State Park. In reality, the freeway ends at Linden Avenue, and travelers must journey one city block west to Caven Point Road, which continues north to Liberty State Park.[1]

Communities[1]

At Route 185's junction with Route 440, the thru lanes of the Route 440 freeway northbound actually continue north as Route 185, and traffic wishing to continue on Route 440 must actually exit the freeway.[1]

[edit] History

Route 185 opened on February 25, 1988 at only 1/3 of its proposed routing.[2]
