From 1920 to 1940, despite the slowdowns resulting from the Great Depression, Bergen County's population nearly doubled, growing from 210,643 to 409,646 residents in that twenty-year period.

Route description

Route 4 starts in Paterson at the intersection of Broadway and East 43rd Street. Route 4 becomes a divided highway at McLean Boulevard and runs concurrent to Broadway crossing out of Paterson and Passaic County and into Elmwood Park and Bergen County. Map highlighting Elmwood Parks location within Bergen County. ...


Broadway continues east with businesses lining both sides of the roadway, and runs concurrently with Route 4 through Fair Lawn, ending at the interchange of Route 208. Route 4 continues on the same path east. While not a freeway yet, the access to the road becomes limited, but businesses still line the road. Route 4 then enters Paramus and its huge shopping district. There it has an interchange with Route 17. As the road leaves Paramus it becomes a freeway and businesses no longer line the route. Route 4 then enters River Edge, Hackensack, Teaneck and Englewood. In Teaneck, Eastbound Route 4 goes from three lanes down to two at the Belle Avenue exit, widening back to three lanes when the highway approaches Englewood. This constriction causes frequent backups during morning rush hours and many other points throughout the day. Route 4 then ends at U.S. Route 9W, a huge interchange at the George Washington Bridge approach. Map highlighting Fair Lawns location within Bergen County. ...
