Newark Plank Road
The
Newark Plank Road
was a major artery between
Hudson Waterfront
at
Paulus Hook
(in today's
Jersey City
) and city of
Newark
further inland across the
New Jersey Meadows
. As its name suggests, a
plank road
was constructed of wooden planks laid side-to-side on a roadbed. Similar roads, the
Bergen Point Plank Road
, the
Hackensack Plank Road
and
Paterson Plank Road
, travelled to the locales for which they are named. The name is no longer used, the route having been absorbed into other streets and freeways.
