 Route 88 is a state highway in the northern part of Ocean County, New Jersey, United States. It runs 10.02 mi (16.13 km) from an intersection with U.S. Route 9 and County Route 547 in Lakewood Township to an intersection with Route 35 in Point Pleasant. It is a two-lane undivided road that passes through mostly residential and commercial areas. The route intersects County Route 549 in Lakewood, Route 70 in Brick Township at the former Laurelton Circle, and County Route 549 Spur in Point Pleasant. The road is mentioned in the lyrics of the 1973 song "Spirit in the Night" by Bruce Springsteen. The route was built as a gravel county road in 1903 and became part of pre-1927 Route 4, a route that was to run from Absecon to Rahway, in 1916. U.S. Route 9 was designated along this stretch of road in 1926 when the U.S. Highway System was created. A year later, in 1927, this portion of pre-1927 Route 4 became a part of Route 35, a route that was to from Lakewood to South Amboy. By the 1940s, U.S. Route 9 was moved off this road to follow its current alignment between Lakewood and South Amboy. In 1953, Route 35 was realigned to follow a portion of Route 37 between Point Pleasant and Seaside Heights, and Route 88 was designated along the former alignment of Route 35 between Lakewood and Point Pleasant. The Laurelton Circle at Route 70, built in 1937, was replaced with the current intersection by the 1990s. |

Welcome to the New Jersey task force of WikiProject U.S. Roads! The goal of this task force is to cover Interstates, U.S. routes, state routes, county routes, and other notable roads in New Jersey through well-written quality articles.
Contents |
[edit] Scope
The purpose of this project is to expand and introduce a uniform format to articles dealing with state and county routes in the state of New Jersey.
[edit] Content
Articles to be included within the task force:
- Intrastate U.S. and Interstate routes (i.e. U.S. Route 46, U.S. Route 130, Interstate 195)
- State detail pages for multi-state routes (i.e. Interstate 95 in New Jersey, U.S. Route 1 in New Jersey)
- All state routes
- All 500-series county routes
- Other county routes are debatable. Only create an article for them if they are notable. Here, notability does not refer to any specific definition according to Wikipedia:Notability, because there isn't one that applies. Just be honest, do you feel it's notable? Can you write a good two paragraphs of encyclopedic information on the route? If so, then be bold and do it! Otherwise, other county routes should only be covered in a list for that specific county.
[edit] Resources
[edit] Length
- The NJDOT Straight Line Diagrams should be used to find the total length along with mileposts for Interstates, U.S. routes, state routes, and county routes.

All of the task force's articles are assessed using the U.S. Roads WikiProject's quality and importance criteria. User:WP 1.0 bot generates a Statewide assessment statistics table and a Statewide assessment log. In addition, there are County by county statistics which rate assessment by county.
[edit] Structure
New Jersey road articles follow WP:USRD/STDS.
[edit] Naming conventions
- Articles for state routes are titled New Jersey Route X.
- Articles for 500-series county routes are titled County Route X (New Jersey).
- Articles for other county routes are titled County Route X (Whichcounty County, New Jersey).
- Redirects from alternative names should be made as well. Use this completion list to aid in creating these redirects.
[edit] Major intersections/exit list
All New Jersey road articles should have a major intersections or exit list table (depending on the route) following the standards set forth at MOS:RJL, generated using {{jct}}, {{jcttop}}, {{jctint}}, and {{jctbtm}}. Remember to set the state parameter to "NJ". Intersections with 500-series county routes can be included in this table on state highways, provided they do not make the list "too long". (Either all 500-series routes should be listed, or none.) Intersections with non-500-series routes should only be included on other county routes. They can be included on 500-series routes, but not with state highways (and again, only with 500-series routes if the list does not become too long).
For {{jct}}, the following coding should be used:
- State:{{Jct|state=NJ|NJ|#}}
- US:{{Jct|state=NJ|US|#}}
- Interstate:{{Jct|state=NJ|I|#}}.
- 500-series county routes:{{Jct|state=NJ|CR|#}}.
- Other county routes:{{Jct|state=NJ|CR|#|county1=whichcounty}}.
- New Jersey Turnpike:{{Jct|state=NJ|NJTP}}.
- Garden State Parkway:{{Jct|state=NJ|GSP}}.
- Atlantic City Expressway:{{Jct|state=NJ|ACE}}.
- Palisades Interstate Parkway:{{Jct|state=NJ|PIP}}.
- Atlantic City-Brigantine Connector:{{Jct|state=NJ|ACBC}}.
- Ocean Drive:{{Jct|state=NJ|OD}}.
[edit] Infobox
The New Jersey task force uses {{Infobox_road}} with the state=NJ parameter. For the type= parameter, use type=NJ for state routes, type=US for U.S. highways, type=Interstate for Interstate highways, type=CR for county routes. For non-500 series county routes, the county= parameter should be set to the name of the county. Use {{jct}} to generate the major intersections and termini in the infobox. The browsing order for the infoboxes can be found at Wikipedia:WikiProject New Jersey State and County Routes/Master List.

[edit] Categories
-
- Category:State highways in New Jersey (subcategory)
- Please use a three-digit sort key (i.e. 003 for Route 3, 070 for Route 70, 166 for Route 166) when putting articles in this category.
- Do not use a sort key on pages that are named something else (for ex. Garden State Parkway), but do put them in this category.
- Category:County routes in New Jersey (subcategory)
- 500-series routes use their route number (which is already 3 digits) for the sortkey (i.e. 571 for County Route 571 (New Jersey)). Other county routes use a 3-digit number (with leading zeroes if necessary) followed by the county name (i.e. 055 Monmouth for County Route 55 (Monmouth County, New Jersey).
