Page "New Jersey Route 154" Paragraph 4

The alignment of Route 154 was originally a stretch of State Highway Route 41 through Cherry Hill and Ellisburg assigned in the 1927 renumbering of state highways.

The route went from its current alignment along former State Highway Route 25 to current Route 154 instead of via the Kings Highway.

The route remained intact until plans for a bypass around Haddonfield arose in 1929.

By the second state highway renumbering in 1953, the bypass around Haddonfield had only been partially built, so instead, the New Jersey State Highway Department realigned Route 41 onto the Kings Highway, leaving the former route unnumbered.

The route remained unnumbered until the 1960s, when it was given the designation of Route 154.
