The year of 1953 sees the 1953 state highway renumbering, in which many concurrencies were removed from the state highway system. The entirety of Route 51 was decommissioned, Route 42 was truncated to Williamstown, Route 48 was truncated to Carneys Point, and parts of Route 44 (including the part where US 322 intersected it) was replaced by US 130.[5] It also sees the elimination of all prefixed and suffixed state routes, such as Route S44.[22]
