Route 165 is a 0.26-mile (0.42 km) unmarked state highway in Lambertville, New Jersey, United States. Once intended as a connection between Route 29 and Route 179, it is now fully concurrent with Route 29.
[edit] History
Route 29 was defined in the 1927 renumbering to run from Newark to Trenton, passing through Lambertville. (Current 29 north of Lambertville was Route 29A.) The northernmost section of current 165, north of Swan Creek and County Route 518, was taken over by the state in 1929, and the rest was taken over in 1941.
In the 1953 renumbering, Route 29 was redefined to continue north from Lambertville on former 29A, and old 29 northeast of Lambertville became part of U.S. Route 202 (which turned west on Route S29 in Lambertville). The section of former 29 between 29A and S29 was assigned the number 165.
Around 2000, the state gave the part of Route 29 between 165 and 179 (formerly US 202) to the city, and 29 was rerouted to use all of 165 and one block of 179. 165, which has never been signed, still exists, though it is fully concurrent with 29.
