New Jersey Route 15
Route 15 is a state highway in Morris and Sussex County, New Jersey. The route heads for 19.16 miles (30.84 km) from East McFarland Street (U.S. Route 46) in Dover to an intersection with U.S. Route 206 in Frankford Township. The route becomes a divided highway in Jefferson Township until becoming a freeway bypass near Sparta. Route 15 was originally Route 6A from 1927 until 1953, when a renumbering occurred. The route was eventually bypassed around the community of Sparta which became New Jersey Route 181.
Since the finishing of the Sparta Bypass, the New Jersey Department of Transportation and North Jersey Transportation Planning Authority have considered more bypasses and alignment changes for 15. The speed limit along Route 15 is as high as 55 miles per hour (89 km/h).

Famous quotes containing the words jersey and/or route:
“New Jersey gives us glue.”
—Howard Dietz (1896–1983)
“By a route obscure and lonely,
Haunted by ill angels only,
Where an eidolon, named Night,
On a black throne reigns upright,
I have reached these lands but newly
From an ultimate dim Thule—
From a wild weird clime that lieth, sublime,
Out of space—out of time.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
