Try as we may, there appear to be no completely unobscured bridge markings for old Route 13. At least the route number is clearly visible on this one. Photo taken 8/5/2001 |

We were really excited about this, the oldest bridge we have located, dated 1919! If this highway gets re-paved one more time, the date stamp will be lost. Photo taken 8/5/2001 |

A good portion of old Route 13 was part of the Lincoln Highway. In Kingston, there is a very old bypassed segment of old Route 13 that is now part of the Delaware-Raritan Canal State Park. This bridge (dated 1798), with its directionals to Philadelphia and NYC, pre-dates both the state highway system and the Lincoln Highway. Photo taken 8/5/2001 |
