The Roaring 20s might have been coming to an end, but the automobiles of the period showed no signs of slowing down. Throughout the 1920s, 30s, and even into the 40s, serious and often times fatal accidents were occurring weekly on the streets of Rahway. Speeding and careless driving were attributed to be the main causes with poor street lighting and lack of traffic lights being contributing factors. Hundreds of summonses were issued at intersections along St. Georges Avenue, Hazelwood, Elizabeth, Grand, Milton, New Brunswick, and Lincoln Highway at the railroad overpass. As dangerous as these roads were, however, none were as hazardous as the quarter mile stretch of Route 25 between Grand Avenue and Lawrence Street. It’s hard to imagine a time when the road presently designated US 1&9 ended at the (above) Traffic heading south on Route 25 is backed up at the Lawrence Street Linden/Rahway line at the railroad crossing and intersection in this early 1950’s photo. nothing but a grassy meadow stretched through the eastern section of Rahway to the river. In the early 1920s, the State Highway Commission began developing plans for a highway that would connect Jersey City and Newark with Trenton. In Rahway, this meant constructing a roadway through the meadow from Linden to Woodbridge. The plans also called for a bridge to cross over the river and Hazelwood Avenue. On August 20, 1929, the new highway, designated Route 25, opened with high expectations. Travelling north, a motorist now had direct access to the Holland Tunnel.
