County Road S-32

Bergen County Road S-32, Union Avenue, is widely regarded as the oldest road in Rutherford. Historians say the path was used by Native Americans until the 17th century.

A narrow steel bridge over the Passaic River that was used from 1896 to 2000 was recently replaced. The current structure opened in 2002. Signage to the road from NJ 21 erroneously labels the road CR 32.
