New Jersey State Highway 208 is a state highway in New Jersey, United States. It is an almost freeway in the northern part of the state. Its termini are at an intersection with Interstate 287 in Oakland, New Jersey and an intersection with New Jersey State Highway 4 in Fair Lawn, New Jersey. At one point, it was planned to connect with New York State Highway 208, hence the number.
Route 4 is a statehighway in Bergen County and Passaic County, NewJersey, United States, that is also known as the Mackay Highway.
The highway stretches 10.83 miles from East 43rd Street/NJ20, McLean Boulevard in Paterson to U.S. Route 9W at the George Washington Bridge approach in Fort Lee.
The Garden State Parkway was originally designed to bypass this stretch of NJ 4, and a stretch built prior to 1953 between Union and Woodbridge Township appeared on maps as "4 PKY".
On January 1, 1953, the NewJersey Department of Transportation renumbered a lot of the State Routes.
A State Route that ended at a state border was renumbered to match the number assigned by the adjacent state.
New numbers assigned semi-arbitrarily included 15 and 20 (13-20 were not assigned in the 1927 renumbering), the sequence from 57 to 93, and 152 to 165 for minor routes (continuing from pre-renumbering 151).
