New Jersey State Highway Routes
Route 160 was a short, 0.47-mile-long (0.76 km) state highway in Bordentown Township, Burlington County, New Jersey. The highway ran along a former alignment of Route 39 and U.S. Route 206 (US 206) called Mission Road in Bordentown Township. The route began at an intersection with US 206, paralleling the four-lane highway to the east and serving local residences before turning to the northwest and serving a strip mall. The highway merged with US 206 further north past an intersection with Hilltop Road.
Route 160 was assigned in the 1953 state highway renumbering over a realigned portion of Routes 39 and 206 eleven years before, which was made to bypass Mission Road. The designated highway ran along Mission Road's entire length for several years until being decommissioned by 1980 by the New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT).
Mission Road, the former alignment of Route 160 begins at an intersection with US 206 in the Parsonville community of Bordentown Township. Mission Road heads northward, intersecting with Groveville Road (a connector to US 130), passing several residential homes. Passing far to the east of Northern Community Park, the highway intersects with several dead-end residential streets. Paralleling US 206 to the east, Mission Road continues northward, forking to the left at an intersection with Liberty Avenue. At the fork, Hilltop Road begins to the right.
Mission Road, after the fork, heads on a northwest direction, serving as a frontage road to US 206. A short distance later, US 206 intersects via an offramp to Mission Road and the local strip mall. After passing the strip mall, Mission Road completes a large bend and intersects with Hilltop Road once again. Just after Hilltop Road, Mission Road turns to the west and merges back onto US 206's alignment.
