'''Route 67''' is a short [[state highway]] entirely within the community of [[Fort Lee, New Jersey|Fort Lee]] in [[Bergen County, New Jersey|Bergen County]], [[New Jersey]]. It is part of the original alignment of [[U.S. Route 9W]] (US&nbsp;9W). The road runs {{convert|1.86|mi|km}} from an intersection with Central Boulevard in Fort Lee (also designated as [[New Jersey Route 5|Route 5]]) up Palisade Avenue in downtown Fort Lee. There it becomes known as Lemoine Avenue, terminating at an interchange with US&nbsp;9W, the [[Palisades Interstate Parkway]] and [[New Jersey Route 445S|Route&nbsp;445S]] in Fort Lee. The route was designated originally as a portion of [[New Jersey Route 18N|State Highway Route 18N]] in 1923, and was split up in 1929 as part of present-day [[New Jersey Route 63|Route&nbsp;63]], US&nbsp;9W and Route 67 for Routes S-1, 1 and '''Route S1A'''. Route S-1-A remained intact on Palisades and Lemoine Avenue until the [[1953 New Jersey state highway renumbering|1953 state highway renumbering]] when it was switched over to Route 67. The route has remained virtually intact since.

[[File:2018-07-21 18 35 56 View north along New Jersey State Route 67 (Palisades Avenue) just north of New Jersey State Route 5 (Central Boulevard) in Fort Lee, Bergen County, New Jersey.jpg|thumb|left|View north at the south end of Route 67 at Route 5 in Fort Lee]]
Route 67 begins at an intersection with [[New Jersey Route 5]] in the community of [[Fort Lee, New Jersey|Fort Lee]]. The route heads northward as Palisade Avenue, crossing on a small interchange past commercial businesses and residential homes. The highway continues, crossing directly as the main road in the community, and passing through a large residential district. Route 67 begins to turn northeastward, passing to the west of several cliffside apartment high rises and the local tennis courts. The high-rises and residential homes continue to surrounded the highway for a distance, until reaching a fork in the highway with Lemoine Avenue. There, Palisade Avenue forks to the right while Route 67 heads to the left along Lemoine. After the fork, the highway becomes more residential and commercial, with the cliffside high-rises following Palisade Avenue to the east. A short distance, Route 67 forks again with Schlosser Street, intersecting with County Route 12 (Main Street).<ref name="bing">{{cite map|url=http://www.maps.bing.com/maps/?FORM=Z9LH7#JmNwPTQwLjg0OTMwNDY4MzUwNjQ5fi03My45NzExNDIzOTYzMzA4MyZsdmw9MTQmc3R5PXImcnRwPXBvcy40MC44MzczMDg4Mzg5NjM1MV8tNzMuOTc4MjYzNjYxMjY1MzdfMTE3NSUyMFBhbGlzYWRlJTIwQXZlJTJDJTIwRm9ydCUyMExlZSUyQyUyME5KJTIwMDcwMjQtNjQyN19fX2FffnBvcy40MC44NjEyNTAyMzY2MzA0NF8tNzMuOTY0MDIxMTMxMzk2M19fX19hXyZydG9wPTB+MH4wfg==|title=Overview map of Route 67|publisher=[[Bing Maps]]/Microsoft Inc.|year=2009|cartography=NAVTEQ Inc.|accessdate=November 11, 2009}}{{Dead link|date=December 2024 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref>

Route 67 and Lemoine Avenue continues northward as a four-lane boulevard through Fort Lee, reaching Bridge Plaza, which serves commercial industry around the [[George Washington Bridge]]. The route then crosses over [[Interstate 95]], [[U.S. Route 1/9|U.S. Routes 1, 9]] and [[U.S. Route 46|46]] as a three-lane truss bridge. After crossing the highways, Route 67 and Lemoine Avenue continue northward out of Bridge Plaza and returns as a four-lane local boulevard in the middle of high-rises and residential homes. Route 67 passes the local high school before reaching an interchange with [[U.S. Route 9W]], the [[Palisades Interstate Parkway]] (Route&nbsp;445) and [[New Jersey Route 445S|Route 445S]] (the Fort Lee Spur), where the designation ends. Lemoine Avenue continues northward as U.S. Route 9W.<ref name="bing" />
