Origins of the Parkway can be traced back to 1946 and 47 when construction began on the road designed to connect the bustling metropolis of North Jersey with the much more relaxing lifestyle along the Jersey Shore down to Cape May. Originally named the Route 4 Parkway or Route 444 because it was designed to bypass State Route 4, which ran up and down the shore, the first 11 miles of the Parkway, between mile markers 129 and 140, opened in 1950. From then on, the highway continued to grow and is arguably responsible for much of the development that we see today thats up and down the coastline of New Jersey. Today we will discuss The Garden State Parkway. Im your host Ryan Socash, and youre watching its history.
