[edit] State Route designation

There is much disagreement among sources about the number of the east-west section (Communipaw Ave etc) - some say 25T, some say 25M (of which there was another at New Brunswick, now 171), and some even say 25. --SPUI (talk) 08:06, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

25

(1930s, 1941 maps show 25 on the Skyway)

• 1950 map
• 1952 map
• City Linked to Super-Highway, New York Times January 20, 1952 page X17 - map
• official 1953 renumbering plans - "U. S. 1 Truck: From junction of Route U. S. 1 at west end of Pulaski Skyway, via former Route 25 (Communipaw Avenue) to former Route 1"; calls the Pulaski Skyway just the Pulaski Skyway, however it also leaves out the other 25M (171)

25M

• Protecting Drawbridges, New York Times January 31, 1937 page 176 - "drawspans on Route 25M, Communipaw Avenue, between Newark and Jersey City"

25T

• Jersey Renumbered, New York Times December 28, 1952 page X15 - "25-T..US-1--Truck"
