The Vince Lombardi Park & Ride is located on the New Jersey Turnpike in the Meadowlands in Ridgefield , Bergen County, New Jersey . The park and ride and separate service area to south of it are dedicated to and named after Vince Lombardi . Located at the edge of the Little Ferry Yard it has been viewed as a potential rail station location since the 1990s and as of 2021, it is under consideration by NJ Transit as part of the Passaic–Bergen–Hudson Transit Project .
136-533: The park and ride and service area opened in 1974. They are situated between the eastern and western spurs at the northern end the turnpike (+/- mile marker 116) just south of the Overpeck Creek bridge, where the turnpike officially ends. They are operated by the New Jersey Turnpike Authority . They are named for Vince Lombardi , who worked at St. Cecilia's High School in nearby Englewood as
272-539: A Hudson–Bergen Light Rail (HBLR) terminal station at the Vince Lombardi Park and Ride, which would be built as part of the third and last MOS (minimum operating segment) of the light rail transit (LRT) system. The West Shore Region Study was initiated in 1996 by NJ Transit and other stakeholders to examine multiple modal opportunities in the region that had once been served by the West Shore Railroad and
408-787: A Stadler FLIRT fleet, with 20 trains DEMU version. Germany has employed DMUs for both commuter and express services for many decades. The SVT 877 Fliegender Hamburger DMU, introduced in 1933, made the run from Berlin to Hamburg in an astonishing 138 minutes, and its derivative SVT 137 broke the land speed record in 1936. After World War 2, the VT 11.5 DMU was the flagship of the glamorous Trans Europ Express . Since 1968, DB has designated DMUs with class numbers beginning in 6. While DB and regional transport authorities generally prefer electric power for commuter rail, many local and rural lines remain un-electrified, and DMUs are invaluable in providing services to those areas. DMUs in service as of 2021 include
544-527: A Latin and chemistry teacher and later become a legendary coach in the National Football League . As of 2017, about 1.6 million used the service area annually. It was closed for refurbishment from September 2020 to July 2021. The park-and-ride has 1022 parking spaces, of which 20 are accessible . NJ Transit bus 321 provides service to Port Authority Bus Terminal in Midtown Manhattan . It
680-621: A WDM-2 or WDM-3A locomotive in the middle. These old trains had the loco controls duplicated in the Driving Trailer coach and all the actuation information reaching the locomotive through thin communication lines. This was called 'push-pull train'. The longest running such push-pull service operated between Diva – Bhiwandi Road and Vasai Road and was recently converted into an MEMU train service in 2018. India's first and largest DMU shed at Jalandhar , Punjab, holds more than 90 units placed in service all over Punjab. First generation DMU: Rated power

By late 2010s the project had further evolved to the Passaic–Bergen–Hudson Transit Project along the NYSW right-of-way in Passiac , Bergen and Hudson using newly built, FRA-compliant DMU rail cars. The project was not included in NJ Transit 10-year capital plan. As defined by
1904-403: A proposed part of the turnpike system, its seven interchanges would have included toll plazas except at the northern end of the turnpike. By 1972, the proposed road met fierce opposition from Ocean , Monmouth , and Middlesex counties with quality of life being the main concern. The NJTA proceeded anyway and began selling bonds. But by December 1973, Governor-elect Brendan Byrne decided to stop
2040-672: A single toll road. Route S100 was a proposed spur of Route 100 in Elizabeth. It was never built, although Route 81 follows a similar alignment. According to a letter to the editor written by Kathleen Troast Pitney, the daughter of Paul L. Troast , the first chairman of the NJTA: Governor Driscoll appointed three men to the turnpike authority in the late 1940s—Maxwell Lester, George Smith and Paul Troast, my father, as chairman. They had no enabling legislation and no funding. They were able to open more than two-thirds of

Some have a dedicated bus parking area, Wi-Fi, and a gift shop as well. Before 1982, there was a service area on the northbound side named for Admiral William Halsey . However, in 1982, exit 13A was created, which caused the obscuring of
2312-585: A third 16-mile-long (26 km) stretch from exit 11 north to exit 15E in Newark on December 20, 1951. The fourth and final nine-mile-long (14 km) stretch, from exit 15E north to exit 18 in Ridgefield, opened on January 15, 1952, completing the turnpike. After the turnpike was completed in 1952, the NJTA and the New York State Thruway Authority (NYSTA) proposed a 13-mile (21 km) extension of
2448-424: A total of six lanes combined. On April 4, 1956, the widening between exit 10 and exit 14 was completed, also as part of this project, exit 14 was rebuilt from a standard exit that served US 1-9 into the 8.2-mile-long (13.2 km) Newark Bay Extension, though only the stretch between exit 14 on the mainline and exit 14A. On May 25 of that year, the widening between exit 4 and exit 10
2584-491: A wider toll plaza. However, this project was never carried out, in part due to the cancelation of the New Jersey Route 17 Extension. In July 1988, a project to reconstruct exit 7 in order to accommodate an increasing number of truck traffic was announced. As part of this, a new 12 lane toll plaza and trumpet interchange located 1 ⁄ 2 mile (0.80 km) away from the original ramps were to be constructed, and

9112-501: The country's economy, defense, and mobility. The turnpike's southern terminus lies at the Delaware Memorial Bridge in Pennsville Township, running concurrently with I-295 and US 40 . Immediately after an interchange that provides access to Route 49 and US 130 , US 40 and the turnpike split from I-295. A short distance later, in Carneys Point Township , the turnpike enters an interchange with Route 140 and County Route 540 (CR 540). Through this section,
9248-408: The design and manufacture of new locomotives and rolling stock be split between numerous private firms as well as BR's own workshops, while different BR Regions laid down different specifications. The result was a multitude of different types, one of which was: In 1960, British Railways introduced its Blue Pullman high-speed DEMUs. These were few in number and relatively short-lived, but they paved
9384-446: The distance between I-295 and the turnpike increases, and the turnpike reaches an exit for Burlington-Mount Holly Road ( CR 541 ). Northeast of this point, the turnpike continues as a six-lane highway into Burlington Township , where it passes by houses and the Burlington Country Club before entering Springfield Township . Here, the turnpike passes by agricultural areas before crossing Assiscunk Creek . Now in Mansfield Township,
9520-430: The driver, as in the great majority of first-generation British Rail DMUs, but in most applications, gears are changed automatically. In a diesel–hydraulic multiple unit (DHMU), a hydraulic torque converter , a type of fluid coupling, acts as the transmission medium for the motive power of the diesel engine to turn the wheels. Some units feature a hybrid mix of hydraulic and mechanical transmissions, usually reverting to
9656-405: The entire Turnpike was designated by the New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) as Route 700. The Pearl Harbor Memorial Turnpike Extension was Route 700P, and the Newark Bay Extension was Route 700N. None of these state highway designations have been signed. The entire length of the New Jersey Turnpike is part of the National Highway System , a network of roads important to
9792-539: The existing toll plaza was demolished, though the old overpass would be left intact as a U-turn ramp. Construction began almost immediately, and was completed in 1990, costing $ 30 million. In 1985, the authority announced plans to extend the dual dual roadway to exit 8A in Monroe Township . However, this created some problems in the East Brunswick area. Analysis of noise and air quality impacts were made in
9928-590: The few remaining unelectrified lines. As electrification progresses, the DMUs become less and less important. Diesel multiple units cover large number of passenger lines in Croatia which are operated by the national passenger service operator HŽ Putnički Prijevoz . On Croatian Railways, DMUs have important role since they cover local, regional and distant lines all across the country. The country's two largest towns, Zagreb and Split , are connected with an inter-city service that
10064-508: The first soldiers from New Jersey to die in World War I. In Linden , the turnpike passes to the east of a large industrial park before reaching an exit for I-278 , which traverses the nearby Goethals Bridge . North of this point, the speed limit drops to 55 mph (89 km/h), and the turnpike crosses the Elizabeth River into the city of Elizabeth . After bisecting residential areas,
10200-655: The first turnpike employee killed on the job, carries the Western Spur over the Passaic River and then tracks carrying PATH's Newark–World Trade Center line, NJ Transit's Morris & Essex Lines, and Amtrak's Northeast Corridor. Running north with six lanes, the Western Spur has a full interchange with I-280 before crossing over Route 7 and the former Boonton Line. The spur then enters Lyndhurst and crosses NJ Transit's Main Line and Berrys Creek before passing over NJ Transit's Bergen County Line and entering East Rutherford . Here,
10336-444: The former British Rail Southern Region ), which "is substituted" by one or more on-board diesel generators ; this kind of DEMU can be potentially upgraded to electro-diesel multiple unit (EDMU), becoming a bi-mode multiple units train (BMU), just adding one or two pantographs or contact shoes (with opportune converters, if necessary) and related modifications on the electric system. NMBS/SNCB uses its NMBS/SNCB Class 41 DMUs on
10472-432: The frame in an engine bay or under the floor. Driving controls can be at both ends, on one end, or in a separate car. DMUs are usually classified by the method of transmitting motive power to their wheels. In a diesel–mechanical multiple unit (DMMU), the rotating energy of the engine is transmitted via a gearbox and driveshaft directly to the wheels of the train, like a car . The transmissions can be shifted manually by
10608-473: The high volume of traffic and the density of potential terrorist targets in the surrounding area. After reaching the north end of the airport, the HOV lanes end, and the turnpike comes to an interchange with I-78 , which is also the Newark Bay Extension of the turnpike east of the mainline. North of I-78, the turnpike passes over CSAO's Chemical Coast Secondary, Greenville Running Track, and National Docks Branch at
10744-647: The interchanges toll plaza was replaced with a wider one and ramps replaced, with none of the original 1951 configuration remaining. In 1971, the NJTA proposed building the Alfred E. Driscoll Expressway . It was to start at the Garden State Parkway south of exit 80 in Dover Township (now Toms River ) and end at the turnpike approximately three miles (4.8 km) north of exit 8A in South Brunswick . As
10880-410: The latter at higher operating speeds as this decreases engine RPM and noise. In a diesel–electric multiple unit (DEMU), a diesel engine drives an electrical generator or an alternator which produces electrical energy . The generated current is then fed to electric traction motors on the wheels or bogies in the same way as a conventional diesel–electric locomotive . On some DEMUs, such as
11016-435: The location of the skyway supports. Engineers replaced the bearings and lowered the bridge by four feet (1.2 m), without shutting down traffic. The work was carried out by Koch Skanska in 2004, under a $ 35 million contract (equivalent to $ 56 million in 2023). The project's engineers were from a joint venture of Dewberry Goodkind Inc. and HNTB Corp. Temporary towers supported the bridge while bearings were removed from
11152-478: The mid '80s, British Rail embarked upon its so called "Sprinterisation" programme, to replace most of the first generation DMUs and many locomotive-hauled trains with three new families of DMU: Following the impact of the privatisation of British Rail in the late 1990s, several other DMU families have been introduced: In 2018, the first bi and tri-mode electro-diesel multiple units were introduced: Canada generally follows similar buffer strength requirements to
11288-588: The mid-1950s and they were the first diesel trains on many main lines. DMUs are used mostly on shorter or less frequently travelled routes in remote areas. The national railway company CFR still uses, along with other DMU models, Class 77 and 78 DMUs, locally built by Malaxa between the 1930s and 50s and refurbished in the 70s. The main DMU in use is the Class 96 Siemens Desiro aka Săgeata Albastră (The Blue Arrow). Private operators also largely use DMU units, mainly purchased from various French and German operators. In
11424-466: The mile markers I-95 would have had if the Somerset Freeway was built. Along with the Garden State Parkway, the New Jersey Turnpike is noted for naming its service areas after notable New Jersey residents. Turnpike service areas consist mostly of fast-food restaurants operated by Iris Buyer LLC ( Applegreen ). Each rest area also includes restrooms, water fountains, a Sunoco gas station with
11560-523: The new challenge of deciding to build either over or under the Pulaski Skyway . 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 turnpike was ultimately built to pass under. As part of a 2005 seismic retrofit project, the NJTA lowered its roadway to increase vertical clearance and allow for full-width shoulders, which had been constrained by
11696-423: The new exit 16 toll plaza. Another improvement made was the introduction of automatic ticket dispensers with the new exit 18 and exit 16, these were also later installed at exit 14, 14A, and 14C, as well as the exit 6 toll barrier. On May 29, the entrance ramps from Route 3 were opened, completing the two-year long project. In 1965, construction began on a entirely new interchange with
11832-507: The newest series 7022 and 7023 built in 2010s Croatia, cover many of the country's local and regional services on unelectrified or partly electrified lines. Diesel multiple units also cover large number of passenger lines in the Czech Republic which are operated by the national operator České dráhy . They have important role since they cover local, regional and distant lines all across the country. Those trains may also cover other lines in
11968-444: The nonstandard half diamond interchange at the location, cost $ 3,500,000 (equivalent to $ 27 million in 2023 ) to construct, and unlike the old ramps, contained a southbound exit and northbound entrance. On August 7, 1962, the NJTA announced a major project to replace exits 17 and 18, in addition to expanding exits 16's toll plaza. This work was being done in preparation for the 1964 World's Fair . It would involve moving
12104-466: The north and providing access to the Atlantic City Expressway to the south. Immediately after the interchange, the turnpike crosses back into Bellmawr before entering Barrington , where it passes under Route 41 / CR 573 . The turnpike then passes near packaging plants before entering Lawnside and crossing over White Horse Pike ( US 30 ). Still two lanes in each direction,
12240-466: The north side of Ridgefild park in 1964, this left a mile long gap between the turnpike and expressway approaches onto the George Washington Bridge . This gap was closed on October 20, 1971, when an expanded interchange with US 46 was opened, which connected to the Bergen-Passaic expressway and replaced the trumpet interchange that only served US 46. The New Jersey Turnpike smog accident occurred in
12376-489: The north, and operated on a coin drop system rather tan the ticket system like the rest of the road, with trucks, buses, and trailers charged based on their weight. It was at this point that the original exit 18 toll plaza located in Ridgefield was demolished. The new exit 18, which had more collection lanes than the original and was located in Secaucus, began charging tolls on February 25, 1964, concurrent with opening of
12512-402: The northern end of the ticket system from Ridgefield to Secaucus, as well as replacing the partially at-grade exits 17 with a new grade separated exits 17 in order to reduce congestion and upgrade said road to Interstate Highway standards It would also involve replacement of the exits 16 with a new 24 lane wide structure, and relocating exit 18 to be at the new northern end of
12648-471: The northern end of the ticket system. Immediately afterwards is an interchange with Route 495 and Route 3 , providing access to the Lincoln Tunnel . After passing through swampland in the Meadowlands , the spur crosses into Ridgefield , Bergen County . Here, the Eastern Spur comes to the northernmost service area on the turnpike, the Vince Lombardi Service Area. After passing over
12784-434: The original exit 10 was closed. The new exit 10 was opened on January 13, 1970, with new dual-dual setup opened the next day on January 14. The Western spur, a new extension of the turnpike meant to let through traffic bypass Secaucus, was opened on September 3, 1970. With this, multiple changes were made to the existing roadway. It was officially named the Eastern Spur, new unnumbered interchanges connecting it with
12920-621: The other railroads in Bergen , Hudson and Passiac counties. An alternatives analysis report published December 1999 identified three projects: the Northern Branch corridor (LRT), the Cross County corridor (LRT) (along the NYSW right of way), and the West Shore corridor (commuter rail), the last of which did not advance. Vince Lombardi Park and Ride was seen as a potential interchange station for
13056-420: The outer lanes are open to cars, trucks, and buses. The turnpike has 12-foot-wide (3.7 m) lanes, 10-foot-wide (3.0 m) shoulders, and 13 of the highway's service areas are named after notable New Jersey residents. The Interstate Highway System took some of its design guidelines from those of the turnpike. The turnpike has been referenced many times in music, film, and television . The mainline of
13192-562: The power cars were later reclassified as locomotives under Class 43 . HSTs started being replaced in 2017, but as of October 2022 some are still in use. By the early 1980s, many of the surviving First Generation units were reaching the end of their design life, leading to spiralling maintenance costs, poor reliability and a poor public image for the railway. A stopgap solution was to convert some services back to locomotive haulage, as spare locomotives and hauled coaching stock were available, but this also increased operating costs. Commencing in
13328-583: The present, several types of DMUs operate in Slovakia. Was the most common type in Slovakia is a Class 812 ZSSK based on the ČD Class 810 . These are used almost exclusively for hauling passenger trains on non-electrified regional lines and these trains often excel in low travel speeds. In the past, however, in Slovakia there were a number of express trains driven by motor coaches , which often overcame heavier trains driven by steam locomotives at cruising speed, and classic sets. A typical example can be, for example,
13464-536: The project altogether. Despite this, the authority continued with its plan. It was not until February 1977 that the authority abandoned its plan to build the road. The rights-of-way were sold in 1979, shelving the project indefinitely. In 1973, the NJTA began planning for exit 13A. The interchange would be constructed in order to provide direct connections to the nearby Newark Liberty International Airport , which had previously having required taking convoluted routes via exit 13 or 14. On June 10, 1982,this exit
13600-591: The railroad right-of-way of the future Essex-Hudson Greenway and runs along the east side of Snake Hill . It then passes over NJ Transit's Main Line at Secaucus Junction station, which serves NJ Transit trains running along the Northeast Corridor and the Main Line. After the southbound lanes have the Alexander Hamilton Service Area, the turnpike reaches the exit 18E toll plaza, serving as
13736-443: The rest area, as they both overlapped with each other. Anyone who wanted to get to the service area missed exiting at exit 13A, and (northbound) drivers who took that exit missed that service area. The service area closed permanently on June 4, 1994. Today, it can be seen by motorists when exiting 13A from the northbound car lanes, where a temporary concrete barrier obstructs an open asphalt lot. Two service areas were located on
13872-505: The road changes its course to a slightly more northerly path. Near Hightstown is an exit for Route 133 , which connects the turnpike with and provides a bypass for Route 33 in the area. North of here, the turnpike crosses the Millstone River into Cranbury Township , Middlesex County, and passes more warehouses on both sides of the road in addition to the southbound Molly Pitcher Service Area. After entering Monroe Township ,
14008-425: 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? A brochure Interesting Facts about
14144-580: The road to balance the state budget, and it is not tolled. This section of the road – known as the I-95 Extension – extends the mainline to travel past the interchange for I-80 in Teaneck where the original terminus was, and through a cut in the Hudson Palisades to the George Washington Bridge Plaza in Fort Lee . The NJDOT originally built a "missing link" in between U.S. 46 and I-80, then
14280-752: The route comes to an exit for the Route ;81 freeway, providing access to Newark Liberty International Airport . While passing to the east of the airport and Brewster Road, the turnpike also passes to the west of the Elizabeth Center big-box center and the Port Newark–Elizabeth Marine Terminal upon entering Newark . A section of the turnpike and the surrounding land in Elizabeth and Newark has been called "the most dangerous two miles in America" by New Jersey Homeland Security officials due to
14416-496: The southbound and northbound sides, respectively. After the service areas, the turnpike enters Robbinsville Township and reaches an exit for I-195 , an east–west freeway connecting the state capital of Trenton with the Jersey Shore . North of I-195, the turnpike passes to the west of several warehouses and traverses numerous parks and wooded areas. After crossing Assunpink Creek , the turnpike enters East Windsor Township , where
14552-714: The spur surfaces into Kearny , Hudson County, as a six-lane highway, and has a partial interchange with I-280 , containing only a southbound exit and northbound entrance. Past this point, the spur passes over Route 7 and crosses the Hackensack River on the Lewandowski Hackensack River Bridge. The bridge was named in honor of the three Lewandowski brothers, Army Private Alexander, Marine Sergeant Walter and Air Force Lieutenant William, who were killed in action during World War II within 18 months of each other. The turnpike then enters Secaucus and crosses
14688-417: The ticket system near exits 16. Construction on the new exit 17 began immediately. The original exit 17 had its northbound ramps permanently closed on June 16, 1963, to allow construction of the replacement exits 16 toll plaza to proceed. On September 19, at 3:30 Pm, the new exit 17 was completed, it contained a wider toll booth, was fully grade separated, was located slightly father to
14824-532: The town of Kearny , on October 23 and 24, 1973. The first collision occurred at 11:20 p.m. EDT on the 23rd. Further accidents continued to occur until 2:45 a.m. the next day as cars plowed into the unseen accident ahead of them. Sixty-six vehicles were involved, and nine people died as a result. Thirty-nine suffered non-fatal injuries. The primary cause of the accident was related to a fire consisting of burning garbage, aggravated by foggy conditions. This produced an area of extremely poor visibility. In 1971,
14960-610: The turnpike continues east-northeast through rural Salem County with two lanes in each direction. After passing under Route 48 , the turnpike enters Oldmans Township , where it has the John Fenwick Service Area northbound and the Clara Barton Service Area southbound. The turnpike then briefly enters Pilesgrove Township before crossing the Oldmans Creek into Woolwich Township . Continuing northeast,
15096-688: The turnpike continues northeast past a warehouse and eventually comes within yards of I-295. Upon entering Cherry Hill , the turnpike passes over tracks carrying the PATCO Speedline and NJ Transit 's Atlantic City Line before reaching the Walt Whitman Service Area along the southbound lanes. Continuing northeast, the turnpike passes under Route 70 before crossing the Pennsauken Creek into Mount Laurel , Burlington County, where it has an exit for Route 73 . North of this point,
15232-543: The turnpike crosses the SMS Rail Lines ' Salem Branch before passing to the south of Swedesboro . After crossing the Raccoon Creek , the highway reaches an interchange for US 322 . A maintenance yard is present on the northbound side of the turnpike immediately north of the interchange into Harrison Township . The route heads northeast into East Greenwich Township past farmland before crossing Edwards Creek. Here,
15368-642: The turnpike enters Carteret and begins to run parallel to CSAO's Chemical Coast Secondary line, which is located east of the turnpike. In Carteret, the highway comes to an interchange serving the borough in addition to Rahway . Immediately north of the interchange, the Wallberg-Lovely Memorial Bridge carries the turnpike over the Rahway River . The bridge is dedicated to Private Martin Wallberg from Westfield, and Private Luke Lovely from, South Amboy,
15504-951: The turnpike enters New Brunswick and crosses over the Raritan River on the Basilone Memorial Bridge into Edison . The structure honors John Basilone , a Raritan resident who is the only United States Marine to be honored with the Medal of Honor, the Navy Cross and the Purple Heart. He died in the Battle of Iwo Jima in 1945. After crossing the Raritan River, the turnpike passes by several warehouses and industrial parks before crossing CSAO's Bonhamtown Industrial Track line and reaching an exit serving I-287 and Route 440 . Soon afterwards,
15640-420: The turnpike has a modified trumpet interchange with Route 32 serving Jamesburg . The interchange has a ramp for traffic seeking Route 32 eastbound forming an "S" shape, taking traffic to Cranbury South River Road. Upon crossing into South Brunswick , the turnpike crosses CSAO's Amboy Secondary and passes by more industrial parks. The highway then enters East Brunswick , where suburban development along
15776-477: The turnpike has three lanes in each direction. Still running within close proximity of I-295, the turnpike comes to a New Jersey State Police station and passes under Route 38 before crossing CSAO's Pemberton Industrial Track. After the northbound James Fenimore Cooper Service Area, the road crosses over Rancocas Creek and passes to the northwest of Rancocas State Park . Now in Westampton Township ,
15912-491: The turnpike has three northbound lanes and two southbound lanes. The turnpike loses its third northbound lane, and continues on with two lanes in each direction and a 65 mph (105 km/h) speed limit. After crossing over Game Creek, the turnpike reaches the exit 1 toll plaza, where northbound drivers must obtain a ticket, and southbound drivers must surrender their ticket and pay the proper toll. Two Express E-ZPass lanes are provided in each direction. Paralleling I-295,
16048-566: The turnpike mainline becomes concurrent with I-95. North of this point, the turnpike enters Bordentown Township and has an exit for US 206 . Continuing northeast, the turnpike passes by a mix of residential neighborhoods and farmland and enters Chesterfield Township before passing over Crosswicks Creek and entering Hamilton Township in Mercer County. The highway then reaches the Woodrow Wilson and Richard Stockton service areas on
16184-496: The turnpike passes by residential developments and soon crosses the Mantua Creek into West Deptford Township , where it passes through parkland before development near the route increases substantially. After passing under Mantua Pike ( Route 45 ), the turnpike enters Woodbury Heights , where it passes by homes before crossing Conrail Shared Assets Operations ' (CSAO) Vineland Secondary and entering Deptford Township . Here,
16320-678: The turnpike passes over the Middlesex Greenway and enters Woodbridge Township , where it reaches an exit serving the Garden State Parkway and US 9 . North of this interchange is the headquarters of the NJTA. From Woodbridge Township to Newark, high-occupancy vehicle lanes (HOV lanes) exist on the outer roadway (truck lanes), thereby making it seven lanes in each direction (4-3-3-4). The HOV restrictions are in effect on weekdays, from 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. northbound, and 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. southbound (at times,
16456-516: The turnpike passes under Route 47 before crossing the Big Timber Creek . Immediately northeast of this point, the turnpike passes under the Route 42 freeway and enters the Camden County borough of Bellmawr . After passing to the south of an industrial park, the turnpike enters Runnemede and comes to an exit for Black Horse Pike ( Route 168 ), serving the city of Camden to
16592-485: The turnpike passes. Route 100 and Route 300 were two state highways proposed in the 1930s by the New Jersey State Highway Department as precursors to the New Jersey Turnpike. The road that is now the New Jersey Turnpike was first planned by the State Highway Department as two freeways in 1938. Route 100 was the route from New Brunswick to the George Washington Bridge, plus a spur to
16728-417: The turnpike splits into a "dual-dual" configuration similar to a local-express configuration. The outer lanes are open to all vehicles and the inner lanes are limited to cars only, unless signed otherwise because of unusual conditions. The turnpike now has a total of 12 lanes, six in each direction (3-3-3-3). Just north of the split is an interchange with the Pearl Harbor Memorial Turnpike Extension, where
16864-435: The under-construction Route 32 between exits 8 and 7. On February 14, 1966, this interchange, numbered as exit 8A was opened to traffic, though only partially; the connection to Route 32 westbound opened on November 5 at noon. In November 1966, NJTA announced plans to widen the turnpike between exits 10 and 14 from eight to twelve lanes. This abolished the express-local roadway system and established
17000-461: The water table. In the deeper mud, caissons were sunk down to a firm stratum and filled with sand, then both the caissons and the surrounding areas were covered with blankets of sand. Gradually, the water was brought up, and drained into adjacent meadows. Then, construction of the two major bridges over the Passaic and Hackensack Rivers was completed. The bridges were built to give motorists a clear view of
17136-440: The way for the very successful InterCity 125 or High Speed Train (HST) units, which were built between 1975 and 1982 to take over most principal express services on non-electrified routes. These 125 mph (201 km/h) trains run with a streamlined power car at each end and (typically) seven to nine intermediate trailer cars. Although originally classified as DEMUs, the trailer cars are very similar to loco-hauled stock, and
17272-633: Was 700 HP and had three or six coaches, made first by ICF. Transmission was Voith-hydraulic. Max speed 100 km/h. Second generation DMU: Rated power is 1400 HP and have eight coaches. Max speed is 105 km/h. Transmission is DC electric. Made at ICF and RCF . Third generation DMU: Rated power is 1,600 HP and have ten coaches. Max speed is 110 km/h. Transmission is AC electric. Made at ICF . State-owned company PT.INKA builds several type of DMU, some of which operate in urban and suburban areas. In Japan, where gasoline-driven railbuses (on small private lines) and railmotors ( Kihani 5000 of
17408-537: Was closed in March 2021 due to low-ridership caused by COVID-19 pandemic in New Jersey , but has since re-opened for weekday parking at $ 9.75/day (including transit). The park and ride lies south of the New York, Susquehanna and Western (NYSW) Edgewater Branch at the periphery of Little Ferry Yard . Passenger service had once passed through the yard the on New York, Susquehanna and Western Railway (until 1966) and West Shore Railroad (until 1959). The right-of-way (ROW)
17544-423: Was completed, along with this came the six-mile (9.7 km) Pearl Harbor Memorial extension and its interchange with the mainline. In 1958, a part of the turnpike was designated as I-95. In addition, a short part of the southern segment was signed as I-295, and the Newark Bay Extension was signed as I-78. On May 15, 1962, the authority opened a new trumpet interchange at exit 12. The ramps, which replaced
17680-743: Was fierce. Therefore, the NJTA and the NYSTA canceled the project. NJDOT did construct a small segment of this extension, the portion between US 46 and I-80, as part of the I-95 Extension. This segment was later transferred to the NJTA. With the turnpike completed, traffic increased beyond expectations, which prompted planning for two widenings in 1955. the first of these would widen the segment of roadway and from four lanes to an eight-lane, dual-dual setup (2-2-2-2, two express carriageways and two local carriageways in each direction) between exit 10 and exit 14. The second widening would add one lane in each direction from exit 4 and exit 10, making for
17816-549: Was formerly designated as Route 700P, but was officially designated as I-95 after the Somerset Freeway was cancelled, and was signed as such when the first components of the Pennsylvania Turnpike/Interstate 95 Interchange Project were completed on September 22, 2018. The third extension, the four-mile (6.4 km) stretch of I-95 north of US 46 came under NJTA jurisdiction in 1992, as NJDOT sold
17952-564: Was one of the first adopters of diesel multiple unit trains in Asia. Initially built as gasoline-powered railmotors, the locally assembled Manila Railroad RMC class of 1929 was the first to be powered by diesel traction. Some units were also converted to streamliner units by 1932 for first-class services on the South Main Line between Manila and Legazpi, Albay . Since then, generations of DMUs were used chiefly for short-distance commuter services by
18088-400: Was opened to traffic. In the 1987, the authority announced a plan a to rebuild the Western Spur. If this were ever to be completed, it would have added truck lanes, In addition, a new exit 15 W-A would be constructed, which would have served a extension of New Jersey Route 17 , and exit 16W would have its ramps connecting to the turnpike be entirely replaced by a new ramp containing
18224-502: Was opened to traffic. The interchange, which had been planned for since 1973, connected to I-195, was in part constructed to serve the nearby Great Adventure , which opened later that year. Additionally, in June, a widening of exit 15E's toll plaza was completed, with an expansion of exit 14A's following in August. With the completion of I-78 to the Newark Bay Extension on May 27, 1977,
18360-665: Was temporarily closed because of storm damage from Hurricane Sandy in October 2012, with only fuel available. It was rebuilt and fully reopened on November 23, 2015. In 2015, the NJTA installed Tesla Supercharger stations in the Molly Pitcher and Joyce Kilmer service areas to allow Tesla car owners to charge their vehicles.
