It s right here in South Jersey.
Never heard of it? That s because you probably have never been on it.
Why?
Literally.
First things first last week, we told you that Route 49, which runs across deep South Jersey, was the least-traveled highway in New Jersey, as determined by Thrillist. Now, to be fair, their criteria was to only consider roads that were at least ten miles long.
Route 167 isn t even a mile long. But it was back in the day.
Back before the Garden State Parkway existed, if you wanted to get between Port Republic and Bass River Township, you would hop onto Route 167 and take a little metal bridge over the Mullica River.
