New Jersey State Highway 10 is a 25-mile state highway in New Jersey, United States. It runs from an intersection with United States Highway 46 in Roxbury Township, New Jersey to Prospect Avenue in West Orange, New Jersey. Route 10 is a major route through northern New Jersey, and although it has existed since colonial times, it has undergone much change as it is lined with shopping centers and commercial outlets.
NJ 10 connects the Netcong area to near Newark. At one time it went east on current NJ 7 to end at US 1/US 9 at Tonnelle Circle. It was also planned to go to the Lincoln Tunnel at one time (including 1939).
