History

I-80 was first planned in 1936 as a replacement for the cross-state U.S. Route 46, considered again in the 1955 Joint Study of Arterial Facilities. Coming off the George Washington Bridge, Route 4 and US 46 already provided high-speed corridors, but they were overloaded, and so a new corridor in between, the Bergen-Passaic Expressway, was planned to run from the bridge to Paterson. U.S. Route 46 is an east-west U.S. Highway, running 75. ...

The planned route west to the Delaware Water Gap was designated in 1956 as Federal Aid Interstate Route 101 by the New Jersey State Highway Department, and was designated Interstate 80 in 1959. The easternmost section of the route, leading to the bridge, had become part of Interstate 95.

The section of I-80 through the Delaware Water Gap had already opened on December 16, 1953, running from the Delaware Water Gap Toll Bridge to Route 94 at Columbia. This road was originally planned as part of U.S. Route 46, but was instead signed as a realignment of U.S. Route 611 until April 1965, receiving the Interstate 80 designation in December 1959. Both I 80 signs and US 611 signs would remain until 1973 where the road would officially become strictly Interstate 80. This section of road was built four lanes wide with lower standards, as it was built prior to the Interstate Highway System.

Actual construction of Interstate 80 began circa 1959 between Route 15 and U.S. Route 46 in western Denville Township, and soon proceeded in both directions. The next section was built between Wayne at Route 23 and Interstate 95 by 1965. The next section was completed in 1967 between U.S. Route 206 in Byram Township and Route 15 in Rockaway Township. In 1969, the section between Parsippany at U.S. Route 202 and Interstate 280 was completed. By 1971, the section between Route 46/Interstate 280 in Parsippany and Route 23/46 Wayne was completed and that whole area of roads were realigned. In 1972, the section between Route 206 in Byram and Routes 46 and 611 in Columbia were completed and that group of roads were realigned into a complex array or ramps. At that point the US 611 tags were removed from the Delaware Water gap section of the freeway. At the same time, for unrelated reasons, US 611 became Pennsylvania 611. The last section between Route 46 in Denville and Route 202 Parsippany was opened in October 1973. New Jersey State Highway 15 is a state highway in New Jersey, United States. ...
