Highways of Bergen County, New Jersey

County Road 61A

Bergen County Road 61A was once a part of CR 40, which originally connected the Passaic Street bridge between Passaic and Garfield with the Bergen Turnpike bridge between Little Ferry and Ridgefield Park. However, a gap has existed in the road going back to the 1930s, as the Erie Railroad crossing between Hasbrouck Heights and Teterboro is closed, and also because US 46 overlays the original CR 40 in Teterboro and South Hackensack. The county has since decided to break up the route into three separate sections. It now calls Passaic Street an auxiliary route of CR 61.
