Editing Colonia, New Jersey (section)

==History==
In 1919, the [[New Jersey State Highway Commission]] built a new road that became part of the [[Lincoln Highway]], an early plan to create a transcontinental highway. The stretch was constructed on the west side of the [[Pennsylvania Railroad]] (now the [[Northeast Corridor]]) from near the northeast of Dow Avenue between Colonia and [[Iselin, New Jersey|Iselin]] to Cedar Street in [[Menlo Park, New Jersey|Menlo Park]], to avoid two railroad crossings. The old road is now Middlesex-Essex Turnpike and Thornall Street, on the east side of the tracks.
