Route 519 from Phillipsburg to High Point

14 McR Points

Motorcycle Type : Enduro

Rt 519 is also known as the War Veterans Memorial Highway. An incredibly beautiful ride. Two warehouses (3 mill SF) are proposed on 585 acres of farmland Rt 519 and Foul Rift Rd., 12 miles from the nearest interstate. At peak hours, 850 new truck trips will be added to Rt 519. We are advocating for a modified agriculture zone promoting traditional farming, farm-to-table, farmers market, etc. Motorcycle riders have a voice that needs to be heard. More tractor trailer traffic chip away at the beauty and enjoyment riding on one of Central NJ's premier scenic roads. Warehouses are part of our new supply chain, but not in the middle of an agricultural area 12 miles for a highway. Please help us stop this poorly-sighted development.

If you are running the river Northbound from Phila and want to keep on keepin' on 519 is the way to go. One thing I've found on 30 or so drives up this road is that it is disjointed and difficult to follow, which makes it not useful as a through way. So if someone is tailgating you, odds are they are local and will bail out before long, leaving the road to you. Plan about 3.5 hours from Philly to Lafayette NJ. Don't be surprised if you lose the route.

Outstanding ride. First 20 miles N of Phillipsburg is freshly paved and like glass. Fairly straight in the southern 1/2, twists pick up in the N 1/2. Saw a black bear walking around some dude's front lawn about 3/4 of the way through. 519 turns off several times, but didn't miss any. Went up to high point, over to Milford and down 209 to 611 to complete the loop back to easton.
