| New Jersey State Highway 495 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (320 words) |
 | New Jersey State Highway 495 connects the New Jersey Turnpike (Interstate 95) to the Lincoln Tunnel. |
| It was originally an interstate highway but was downgraded to a state highway when it became evident that a connection between it and Interstate 495 in Long Island, New York would never be built, due to overwhelming community opposition and high costs. |
| With the arrival of the interstate highway system, the road was designated I-495 in 1959, but it was decommissioned and became NJ 495 in 1980. |
