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

The governor 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.

But many Morris County residents say that they are a bit apprehensive about naming a road after the governor.

A recent poll found that 77 percent of New Jersey residents asked viewed Christie as “unfavorable.” Only 14 percent approved of the work that he did as governor.

“It’s disappointing. We elected him. Now he’s leaving, and he’s got such a low approval rating,” says Morristown resident Claire Taylor. “It shows he didn’t do much for us.”

Other former governors have had roads and other state landmarks named for them.

Former Gov. Brendan Byrne had the Meadowlands area, the one-time home to the New Jersey Nets and Devils. But his name was stripped when it was renamed the Continental Airlines Arena.

Former Gov. Dick Codey had an ice arena named after him in West Orange.

"I think he's governor, so that deserves some respect off the bat.  But I don’t think (Christie) did the best of jobs, so I would've voted 'no' for the road,” says Morristown resident John Mulberger.

Christie leaves office Jan. 16, when Gov.-elect Phil Murphy takes over.
