Highways of Bergen County, New Jersey

County Road 13

Bergen County primary Route 13, most of which is the former CR 59, begins at Essex Street in Maywood and runs into Paramus, where it becomes Forest Avenue, a four-lane arterial which seems to remind many of its drivers of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway – much to the chagrin of residents. It then proceeds into Westwood. The former CR 59, Fourth and Third avenues, is now a spur route; CR 13 follows the four-lane road up to Washington Avenue.
