I-78 in Warren County

[Interstatefan78]

Saw the 1967  road map of Warren County and it shows I-78 going west in a straight line after exit 3 and interchanges at CR-519 and Carpentersville Road currently the site of I-78's Delaware River Crossing and this was before 1989 when I-78 goes around Alpha, NJ to reach the Delaware River Crossing from exit 3 US-22 & NJ-122 or US-22 NJ-173 & NJ-122 http://mapmaker.rutgers.edu/WARREN_COUNTY/WarrenHighway_1967_1.jpg

Probably the town of Alpha did not want it.  Most likely the interchanges were never built because of the sprawl that such interchanges create.  Back in the 60's no one ever dreamed that we would "boom" so much.

BTW is there away you can use proper punctuation and the right verbs, adverbs, adjectives etc.  It would be okay if you were somewhat obvious of what you are meaning, but I am confused about the Delaware River crossing if you yourself are trying to say if an interchange was proposed there or if you mean that it is the same place the current Delaware River Bridge is where the straight line ends up.

I was actually referencing the I-78 Delaware River Bridge which is past the Carpentersville Road overpass if I-78 went through Alpha from exit 3

Yes, this. Interstatefan78, while we want to continue to allow you to contribute to the forum, we are going to need to see an improvement in your grammar. Use commas, periods, etc. Have someone else read your posts first. Whatever it takes, or we'll have to separate you from the forum for a few years until you can learn how. Thank you.

As it relates to I-78, on the Pennsylvania side of the river for a moment:

What part of US Route 22 was Interstate 78? Was it the area that's close to Airport Road and Coca Cola Park? Me, my brother and a friend who was driving left Allentown via US Route 22 East. We stayed on it until the merges with I-78 near Alpha, NJ. I had never experienced the dangerously sharp curves leading to the bridge! Also, due to construction and/or painting, that bridge is only half open with only one VERY narrow lane open in each direction. I hope I don't have to go through that area again!

According to the 1960 official state map, the whole thing through the Lehigh Valley, probably including the bridge (the Interstate line style isn't shown inside city limits). Now you know why the bypass was built.

On the 1970 map, it's shown transitioning to only US 22 at the curve west of PA 100, where the bypass was planned to split off. But I-378 still existed.
