Title: Named overpasses in NJ (NOT MEMORIAL NAMES)
Post by: Alps on February 19, 2014, 05:37:21 PM
NJ has a handful of trumpets on Jersey freeways (i.e. with driveways) that connect the "far side"  of the freeway to a parallel road while the "near side"  has a separate connection. (If you're unclear, click the links below and you'll see exactly what I mean.) There are three named Overpasses I know of:


Here are other, similar situations. I wonder if these have names? (They're all unsigned.) Have I missed one? Are there any named ones that don't fit this description?

It's not named as an overpass, but (based on old aerials) Andrejewski Drive near South Amboy was created (and presumably named) in the 1940s solely for this purpose when US 9-NJ 35 was converted to a Jersey freeway.

Similar to Willowbrook, good one.

Would the one at Menlo Park Mall Count on US 1?  Remember it connects with the parking lot via an overpass also over Lafayette Avenue where the near side US 1 connects only with Lafayette.  The SB exit requires an entrance to the mall at another location along Lafayette Avenue as well.

In retrospect it is similar to the Route 46 ones but one further with the situation of parallel Lafayette Avenue being bridged as well.

I know Menlo Park Mall doesn't count because their overpass is privately built.
