Highways of Bergen County, New Jersey



Bergen County Road 61 is an arterial that runs the length of the county. CR 61 begins at CR 507 in Wallington and runs up to CR 2 on the Park Ridge-Montvale border.

Pascack Road, which starts at East Ridgewood Avenue in Paramus, was designated CR 63 for years, as the highways were formed independently. However, they now run together and are officially combined, although signage for CR 63 still exists.
