New I-78 ramp links Garden State Parkway
Posted 12/14/2010 6:08 AM ET

HILLSIDE, N.J. (AP) – Motorists can use a new ramp as a link between two of New Jersey's busiest highways.

The ramp lets motorists travel directly from the southbound side of the Garden State Parkway to Interstate 78 East.

Parkway motorists no longer have to exit onto 78 West and use local exits as U-turns in order to reach 78 East.

State Transportation Commissioner James Simpson told The Daily Record of Parsippany an estimated 6,500 motorists will use the new ramp daily.

Work began on the $149 million project in 2008. A ramp that allows motorists heading north on the parkway to exit onto Interstate 78 was finished in September 2009.

Finally this Mistake is Corrected , now i can take the GSP to 78 Exit and Straight to The Airport without making a U-turn and any other crap

Mistake is a harsh word. the northbound to westbound was never needed because I-278 was supposed to be there all the way to Morristown.  The southbound to eastbound movement was never needed because NJ State Route 75 was supposed to be there. Since all the urban areas predated the invention of the freeway, it wasn't practical to retrofit these urban areas with full freeway to freeway interchanges. I think it's genius that these movements were omitted. The mistake is the decision by the voters/residents to kill all these frreeways decades ago.
