Travel directions
The highway forms a bypass of Hightstown in East Windsor Township. The highway has 2×2 lanes and first intersects the New Jersey Turnpike before the highway actually ends with an interchange on it.
History
The bypass was already planned in the 1930s, but never got off the ground. In 1994, plans were made for a highway from Princeton to Hightstown, which were later downgraded to just a bypass of Hightstown. The bypass was subsequently constructed between 1996 and 1999 and was opened to traffic on November 30, 1999.
The bypass originally did not connect directly to the New Jersey Turnpike, but to State Route 33, a boulevard with traffic lights. With the widening of the New Jersey Turnpike from 6 to 12 lanes, Exit 8 was moved and connected to the bypass. In addition to this new connection, a connection with State Route 33 also had to be constructed. The new Exit 8 opened in January 2013, and the overpass over State Route 33 opened in September 2013.
The Hightstown bypass has been planned under various numbers throughout history, chronologically State Route 31A (1938-1953), State Route 92 (1953-1994), and State Route 133.

Travel directions
State Route 17 in Ho-Ho-Kus.
State Route 17 begins as a city highway in North Arlington, an inner suburb of Newark. State Route 17 here is formed by Ridge Road, a wide single-lane road that serves as the main street of North Arlington and Lyndhurst. One then reaches State Route 3, a freeway between Passaic and Secaucus. The road then leads as a wide urban arterial through Rutherford, East Rutherford and Teterboro. Most intersections are blocked so there are hardly any real intersections left between State Route 3 and I-80 at Teterboro.
From Teterboro, State Route 17 is a completely free-flow expressway, it’s a strip of retail, with the suburbs becoming less densely built up and more affluent to the north. The road here usually has 3 to 4 lanes in each direction, has a concrete middle barrier but a continuous flow of right in, right out connections. Only a few important intersections have been designed as a more complete connection. There are two large shopping malls along the road. There are interchanges with Interstate 80, State Route 4 and the Garden State Parkway. From Paramus to Mahwah the road leads through expensive suburbs, the expressway retains its substandard character with many right in, right out connections but has up to theInterstate 287 no traffic lights. The interchange with I-287 is just before the New York state border.
History
State Route 17 was created in 1923 as a north-south route from Kearny via Rutherford, Hackensack and Ramsey to the New York border. This route was a bit more easterly than the current road. With the renumbering of 1927, the road got its current global route.
In 1937 a double lane road opened around Rutherford. This was the first significant upgrade, although this was not a true motorway. From this time on, plans arose to upgrade the road to a freeway between Newark and US 46. The project was canceled due to World War II and plans from the 1960s were unpopular due to the impact of the construction of a freeway through the United States. inner suburbs of Newark, which are densely built.
The road between Teterboro and Mahwah was a busy arterial. This road was upgraded between 1953 and 1960, the many intersections were closed and all companies only had access via a right in, right out connection (RIRO). This gave the road somewhat the character of a motorway, but the many slow traffic that enters and exits makes the road substandard.
