Highways of Passaic County, New Jersey

Interstate 287 is a semi-beltway around New York City. It stretches from Woodbridge, N.J., at a junction with NJ 440 and the New Jersey Turnpike, out through Bridgewater, Basking Ridge, Morristown, Boonton, and up to Suffern, where it follows the New York State Thruway across the Tappan Zee Bridge and then the Cross-Westchester Expressway (a road also administered by the Thruway Authority) to the New England Thruway (I-95) at Port Chester.

The northernmost stretch in New Jersey, from Boonton to Mahwah, was not completed until 1993, thanks to arguments over property rights and wildlife conservation. The portion of I-287 in Passaic County is in that stretch, although the overpass of the Pequannock River entering the county from the south was built as part of an earlier relief connection from the Hamburg Turnpike to NJ 23 in Riverdale.

Only the 3.26-mile portion of the freeway in Passaic County is included here. The stretch is dedicated to US Air Force Gunner Clarence “Red” Mosley, a one-time professional boxer who became a quadruple amputee during the Korean War. The mile markers are from the highway's origin in Woodbridge.
