Elizabeth – Springfield – Morristown Washington – Phillipsburg –
(Easton, Pa.); State S24 and State 24.
State 24 offers a peaceful drive through exhilarating hill and mountain
country. In the eastern section wealthy estates and the orderly homes of
the commuting middle class cover ground once torn by the struggle for
independence. West of Morristown is a high rolling farm region; tidy
grazing lands and partitioned plowed fields are set into the hills at slants
reminiscent of New England. The hill district reaches its peak at Schooleys
Mountain. Except for the big cement and heavy machinery plants near
Phillipsburg, the route avoids industrial developments.
State S24 branches northwest from State 28 (see Tour 17), 0 m., at
Elmora and Westfield Aves. on the northern fringe of Elizabeth.
Elizabeth to Pennsylvania Line, 64 miles
The road is paralleled by the Lackawanna R.R. between Chatham and Morristown
and between Beattystown and Phillipsburg; by the Jersey Central R.R. between Chester and Long Valley.
Frequent service stations; hotels in towns.
Roadbed is concrete for the most part, with stretches of improved macadam.
