Various views of the Pulaski Skyway from the eastern branch of the New Jersey Turnpike northbound. Areas in and around the Hackensack River are industrial in nature. Beyond the Jersey City landscape are the skyscrapers of Manhattan Island. The Pulaski Skyway, a 3.5 mile long elevated roadway, opened to traffic on November 24, 1932. The truss bridge peaks at 135 feet above the Hackensack and Passaic Rivers and was built as part of a 13.2 mile extension project for U.S. 1 in the 1920s. The bridge was dedicated to American Revolutionary hero General Casimir Pulaski on October 11, 1933.1
