Historic Northern End

26 continued north on Livingston Ave. to end at NJ 171, and before that US 130, on George St. in New Brunswick. Sometime after 1965, 26 was truncated to its current end and 171 was rerouted onto part of former 26 on Livingston Ave.


Looking southeast on George St (former 130/171, now 527 south), a block before they split, in 1937. In 1937, 130 overlapped 26 and what's now 527 was NJ S28 (which later became NJ 18). Until 2019, 171 south turned right up ahead where 26 used to turn. The R served the purpose of an advance right turn plate. From Old New Brunswick.
