Victory Highway

The Victory Highway was an auto trail across the United States between New York City and San Francisco, roughly equivalent to the present U.S. Route 40.

By 1922 the organization had decided to run the highway from New York City southwest to Camden, New Jersey; Philadelphia; Wilmington, Delaware; Baltimore; and Washington, D.C. before turning west to San Francisco.

[3] Washington was later removed from the route, and the highway was relocated to run west from Baltimore to Cumberland, Maryland.

[8][9] The Victory Highway mostly overlapped the National Old Trails Road east of St. Louis, but it took a different route through New Jersey.

While the National Old Trails Road crossed the Delaware River at Trenton,[10] the Victory Highway crossed on the Benjamin Franklin Bridge to Camden, heading northeast via Burlington and Hightstown to Perth Amboy roughly on the present U.S. Route 130 and Middlesex County Route 615.
