Before the advent of the interstate highways, the whole Turnpike was designated by the New Jersey Department of Transportation as Route 700, with the Pennsylvania Turnpike Extension being Route 700P and the Newark Bay Extension being Route 700N at one time. The New Jersey Department of Transportation ( NJ DOT) is the agency responsible for transportation issues and policy in New Jersey. The Pennsylvania Turnpike is a toll highway system operated by the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission in the state of Pennsylvania, United States. The western spur is officially known as Route 95W but signed as Interstate 95 (see below).

Between Exits 14 and 18, the Turnpike splits into two spurs, an eastern spur and a western spur. Both spurs are posted as I-95, although technically the eastern spur is I-95 as that was built first. The western spur is posted as I-95 for through traffic on I-95, while traffic entering at the ends of the split is routed via the eastern spur. The New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT), which calls every class of highway Route, calls the western spur Route 95W.

Rest areas

The New Jersey Turnpike is noted for naming its rest areas after people who lived or worked in New Jersey. A rest area, travel plaza, rest stop, or service area is a public facility located next to a large thoroughfare such as a Highway, Expressway From south to north, the rest areas are:

Even long-time local motorists frequently do not know who some of these people were, or in the case of Kilmer, even what gender they were. Ridgefield is a borough in Bergen County, New Jersey, United States. (Kilmer's full name is Alfred Joyce Kilmer. ) Several of the northbound rest stops are named after people better known by their middle names, rather than first names, these including Thomas Woodrow Wilson, the aforementioned Alfred Joyce Kilmer, and Stephen Grover Cleveland. "Molly Pitcher" is a name given to a woman (reportedly a water-bearer who helped cannoneers during a New Jersey battle during the American Revolutionary War) who may or may not have existed. In this article the inhabitants of the thirteen colonies that supported the American Revolution are primarily referred to as "Americans" with occasional references to "Patriots" Contemporary New Jersey writers such as Calvin Trillin and Philip Roth have ruefully commented that they hope they do not get a rest stop named after them once they die. Calvin (Bud Marshall Trillin (born December 5, 1935 in Kansas City Missouri) is an American Journalist Philip Milton Roth (born March 19, 1933, Newark New Jersey) is an American novelist

Perhaps surprisingly, the Looking for America book describes the Edison, Lombardi, and Kilmer rest stops as possible hot spots for heterosexual, homosexual, and prostitution activities respectively. Heterosexuality refers to sexual behavior with or attraction to people of the opposite sex or to a heterosexual orientation Homosexuality refers to sexual behavior with or attraction to people of the same sex or to a Homosexual orientation. Prostitution is the act of performing Sexual activity in exchange for Money.

Turnpike rest areas comprise mostly Burger King and Roy Rogers fast-food restaurant locations. Burger King ( often abbreviated to Roy Rogers Restaurants is a Northeastern United States chain of Fast food Restaurants founded by the Marriott Corporation in 1968 in Fast food is the term given to food that can be prepared and served very quickly Most rest stops also include a Sunoco, with gas price signs posted about half a mile before reaching the rest stop.

The New Jersey Turnpike is a closed-system toll road, using a system of long-distance tickets, obtained once by a motorist upon entering and surrendered upon exiting at toll gates. See also Monroe Township Gloucester County, New Jersey for another New Jersey Township with the same name Monroe Township is a A toll road, (also known as a tollway, turnpike, pike, or toll highway, especially if it is constructed to Freeway standards The toll gates exist at all exits and entrances (except for the Meadowlands Sports Complex) and also at the highway extension toward the Hudson River. The Meadowlands Sports Complex is a sports and entertainment facility located in East Rutherford, New Jersey, owned and operated by the New Jersey Sports and The toll fee depends on the distance traveled between entrance and exit, and longer distances result in higher tolls. As of 2004, the automobile toll from Exit 1 to Exit 18 is $6. "MMIV" redirects here For the Modest Mouse album see " Baron von Bullshit Rides Again " 45. If the ticket is lost, one must pay the highest toll fee upon exiting. Discounts were available to all users of the E-ZPass electronic toll collection system until 2004. E-ZPass is an Electronic toll collection system used on most tolled Roads Bridges and Tunnels in the northeastern United States Electronic toll collection (ETC, an adaptation of military " Identification friend or foe " technology aims to eliminate the delay on Toll roads It is a Since then, the costly implementation of the E-ZPass system forced the Turnpike Authority to eliminate the discounts during peak hours, and instead impose a $1 per month E-ZPass fee to their account holders, causing many New Jersey E-ZPass holders to obtain transponders through other toll authorities which do not impose the fee. E-ZPass customers still receive a discount during off-peak hours, when the automobile toll from Exit 1 to Exit 18 is $4. 85. Cash customers do not receive this discount. [6] Express E-ZPass implementation is underway, allowing E-ZPass customers at some of the toll plazas to travel through toll areas at highway speeds, via the addition of E-ZPass sensors on an overhead gantry. One of these high-speed toll gates is located at the northern terminus of the road, as southbound Interstate 95 traffic enters the turnpike. The newest one is located at the southern terminus in Carneys Point. Carneys Point Township is a Township in Salem County, New Jersey, United States. There is also a high-speed E-ZPass entry point on the Pennsylvania Turnpike Extension. At each location, traditional E-ZPass and cash lanes are also available.

When travelling from the North, users who exit at the Meadowlands Sports Complex pay no toll, but the Turnpike Authority counts cars electronically and is paid a fee for each vehicle by the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority. The New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority ( NJSEA) is a regulatory agency established by the State of New Jersey in 1971 to oversee the Meadowlands

The non-tolled Interstate 295, which parallels the Turnpike for much of its southern length, is often used as an alternate route for shunpiking by locals and through travelers alike; prior to the expansion of the Exit 1 toll plaza, this route was promoted through signage and radio announcements from the New Jersey State Police as a bypass of summer congestion at the plaza. Interstate 295 (abbreviated I-295) in New Jersey and Delaware is a bypass route from a junction with Interstate 95 south of Wilmington The term shunpiking comes from the word shun, meaning "to avoid" and pike, a term referring to Turnpikes which were roads which required The New Jersey State Police ( NJSP) is the State police force for the state of New Jersey.

Gov. Corzine's 2008 plan to increase tolls

On January 8, 2008, Governor Jon Corzine proposed a 50 percent increase in tolls on New Jersey's three toll roads in 2010, with increases of a similar percentage every four years after that, in order to help pay state debt. Jon Stevens Corzine (born January 1 1947 is the Governor of New Jersey and a former United States Senator Each times tolls increased, there would be an additional increase for inflation since the last toll increase (for the first, since 2006). The roads would be maintained by a nonprofit "public benefit corporation" which would pay back bonds to the state. Under this plan, and without considering the inflation increases, tolls on the New Jersey Turnpike would rise from the current $6. 45 to $42. 92 in 2022. [7] It is possible that commuters will receive discounts from the higher toll rates. [8]

Emergency Assistance

The New Jersey Turnpike Authority offers twelve foot wide shoulders wherever possible, and disabled vehicle service may be obtained by dialing #95 on a cellular phone. The reason why #95 was chosen is probably because the turnpike uses Interstate 95. On the Garden State Parkway, the assistance number is #GSP, which is #477 in number form.

According to a letter to the editor written by the daughter of Paul L. Troast, the first chairman of the NJ Turnpike Authority, Kathleen Troast Pitney:

“Governor Driscoll appointed three men to the Turnpike Authority in the late 1940s -- Maxwell Lester, George Smith and Paul Troast, my father, as chairman. Paul Lyman Troast ( November 19, 1894 &ndash July 21, 1972) was a wealthy building contractor from Passaic New Jersey, chairman of They had no enabling legislation and no funding. They were able to open more than two-thirds of the road in 11 months, completing the whole (project) in less than two years. . . . When the commissioners broached the subject of landscaping the road. . . . the governor told them he wanted a road to take the interstate traffic . . . off New Jersey's existing roads. Since 85 percent of the traffic at that time was estimated to be from out of state, why spend additional funds on landscaping?[9]”

A brochure "Interesting Facts about the New Jersey Turnpike", dating from soon after the road's opening, states that when the Turnpike's bonds are paid off, "The law provides that the Turnpike be turned over to the State for inclusion in the public highway system. " Due to new construction, and the expectation that the Turnpike pay for policing and maintenance, this has never come to pass.

The task of building the turnpike was not an easy one. One major problem was the construction in the city of Elizabeth, where either 450 homes or 32 businesses would be destroyed, depending on the chosen route. Elizabeth is a city in Union County, New Jersey, in the United States. The builders decided to go through the residential area, considering it the grittiest and the closest route to both Newark Airport and the Port Newark-Elizabeth Marine Terminal seaport. Newark Liberty International Airport, first named Newark Airport and later Newark International Airport, is an international Airport within the Not to be confused with Port Elizabeth New Jersey Port Newark-Elizabeth Marine Terminal is the name for the port facility in

When construction finally got to Newark, there was a new challenge; Deciding to build either over or under the Pulaski Skyway. The General Pulaski Skyway is a series of Cantilever Truss Bridges in the northeast part of the U If construction went above the skyway, the costs would be much higher. If they went under, the costs would be lower, but the roadway would be very close to the Passaic River, making it harder for ships to pass through. The Passaic River is a Tributary of Newark Bay, approximately 80 mi (129 km long in northern New Jersey in the United States. The engineers chose to go under.

While continuing up to the New Jersey Meadowlands, the crossings were harder because of the fertile marsh land of silt and mud. New Jersey Meadowlands, also known as the Hackensack Meadowlands after the primary river flowing through it is a general name for the large Ecosystem of Wetlands Near the shallow mud, engineers filled the mud with crushed stone, and built the roadway above the water table. In the deeper mud, engineers sank caissons down to a firm stratum, filled the caissons with sand, then both the caissons, and the surrounding areas were covered with blankets of sand. In Geotechnical engineering, a caisson is a retaining watertight structure used for example to work on the foundations of a Bridge pier, Gradually, the water was brought up, and drained into adjacent meadows. Then, the construction of the two major bridges over the Passaic River and Hackensack River were completed. The Hackensack River is a river approximately 45 mi (72 km long in the U The bridges were built to give motorists a clear view of the New York City skyline, but with high retaining walls to make it seem as if you are not even crossing a river. The City of New York The 6,955 ft (2,120 m) Passaic River (Chaplain Washington) Bridge cost $13. 7 million to construct and the 5,623 ft (1,714 m) Hackensack River Bridge cost $9. 5 million.

The Pennsylvania Turnpike is a toll highway system operated by the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission in the state of Pennsylvania, United States. Bristol Township is a township in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, United States. Finances would be supplied by rerouting money from the planned NJ 92 Turnpike extension. Route 92 was a 67-mile proposed branch of the New Jersey Turnpike that would have run from west to east beginning at Overpasses are already being reconstructed to be compatible with a wider Turnpike. [11] The NJTA is also planning to expand the turnpike between Exit 9 in East Brunswick to Exit 8A in Monroe Township.

" This would require little construction as the overpasses were built with future expansion and would only require the outer lanes to be repaved and restriped to accommodate the extra lane.

Interchange 7A
Interchange 7A

The dual-dual configuration (between 6 and 8A) was thought to have been "2-3-3-2. " However, according to Turnpike documentation, the turnpike would feature six lanes in each direction (3-3-3-3). [12] The following interchanges will be upgraded with this widening project: Exit 6 (Mansfield), Exit 7 (Bordentown), Exit 7A (Robbinsville Twp), Exit 8 (East Windsor Twp), and Exit 8A (Monroe Township).

On January 1, 2007, the Turnpike was facing opposition in East Windsor Township with an upgrade of Exit 8. New Year See also New Year The Ancient Romans began their consular year on January 1st since 153 BC Year 2007 ( MMVII) was a Common year starting on Monday of the Gregorian calendar in the 21st century. East Windsor Township is a Township in Mercer County, New Jersey, United States. The current Interchange 8 will be demolished and replaced with a new interchange. Prior to this plan being released, some thought that the new Exit 8 would connect directly with the Hightstown Bypass. Route 133 is a State highway located entirely in East Windsor Township, New Jersey, United States. There seems to be ample space (between mile markers 67. 89 and 68. 12) to build a new interchange, a toll gate and ramps for 133. The NJTA's plan was to re-route the new Exit 8 to the intersection with Route 33, Milford Road, and the Hightstown Bypass (on the east side of the expressway in lieu of the west). Route 33 is a State highway in the US state of New Jersey. The highway extends 42 Route 133 is a State highway located entirely in East Windsor Township, New Jersey, United States. This new 8 would grant direct access to the bypass (without going through any traffic lights), as well as to 33, using grade separated interchanges. The new toll gate would also feature a total of 12 booths at the gate. However, the interchange and the toll gate would run near some residential houses located right off of 33, and would disturb Twin Rivers. Twin Rivers is a Census-designated place and unincorporated area located within East Windsor Township, in Mercer County, New Jersey The Authority released 3 configuration options at the intersection of Milford, 33, and the bypass.
