It runs from the Calhoun Street Bridge over the Delaware River to Brunswick Circle, and is composed of the following named streets:
The Extension was built as a joint undertaking by the New Jersey State Highway Commission, the city of Trenton and Mercer County; it opened in January 1932. New roads built were the Brunswick Circle Extension and the northeast part of Calhoun Street; the rest of Calhoun Street and Princeton Avenue existed before the road was built. Princeton Avenue was already maintained by the county; the rest was taken over by the state. The road was intended as a bypass of downtown Trenton for cars and light trucks; the Calhoun Street Bridge had and still has a low weight limit. It may have been part of Route 26, which continued north from Brunswick Circle. On the Pennsylvania side of the Delaware River, the road from the bridge rejoined the Lincoln Highway to Philadelphia at Fallsington. On the New Jersey side, the Lincoln Highway ran through Brunswick Circle, and the new Route 26 to New Brunswick, built in 1930, began at the Circle. In the 1950s, it was numbered as part of County Route 583 except along the Brunswick Circle Extension; it now has the following numbers:
The Extension has been supplanted by the Trenton Freeway (U.S. Route 1), which also connects Brunswick Circle to the Delaware River. References
