Guys, I was not looking at the map and used to drive this route in the mid 80's to get to 78 to go to Phillipsburg. I just mentally attributed it to 78 instead of looking. The road used to not connect to 287 in NY, and on my 1994 Rand McNally it still shows as a discontinuous interstate from the intersection with 202 in Montville to the NY section of Interstate 287. It is 287 in NJ going South. Sorry for the confusion. Jim
