Encyclopedia > Old Mine Road

Old Mine Road is the oldest continuously-used road in the United States. At 104 miles, it stretches from New Jersey to New York State. It is commonly believed that Dutch settlers began construction of the road in the 1600s in order to transport copper ore. The road still exists today, and although now paved, still retains much of its charm and individuality.

A trail reroute was constructed in late 1998 to circumvent the old mine road and the corduroy-road segment.
Road prism measurements were taken at obvious changes in the road profile and used to estimate perched volume per linear foot (see Figure 1).
The road bench at wet areas and seeps was excavated similarly to a stream crossing by creating a gentle swale, and fill was moved down the road to a dry, more stable storage location.
