Gov. Christie is getting a road in his home county named after him.

Christie and first lady Mary Pat Christie are expected to be on hand Monday when a new access road to Central Park of Morris County is christened "Governor Chris Christie Way."

Christie lives in Mendham Township in Morris County and served as a freeholder, a local government official, from 1995 to 1997.

Morris County spokesman Larry Ragonese says it's a "fitting honor" for the first governor to hail from the county since the 1800s.

Christie, a Republican, leaves office Jan. 16. Democratic Gov.-elect Phil Murphy then takes over.
