 * After that it was numbered State Route 159 but signs were never put up. The road begins concurrent to Bloomfield Avenue as a divided highway. Originally, County Route 506 signs were placed in this half mile section of Route 159/Bloomfield Avenue. Route 159 veers off to the left of Bloomfield Avenue eastbound and continues concurrent to a 2 lane street ending back at US 46 in Fairfield. Bloomfield Avenue though continues all the way down to Newark, New Jersey and runs concurrent with County Route 506. Until the late 1980's though, none of Route 159 had signs identifying it. Also Bloomfield Avenue had no 159 signs in that section nor did they have any County Route 506 signs on the long 506 portion. But road maps labeled the entire Bloomfield Avenue as County Route 506.


 * But New Jersey technically funded the first ¾ of a mile of Bloomfield Avenue and the road that runs from the left back to Route 46. When repair and funding issues came up, the state finally tagged this short stretch of road State Route 159 by 1989. Essex County eventually added County Route 506 signs to Bloomfield Avenue.
