U.S. 1
A view of the Pulaski Skyway (U.S. 1/9) from the New Jersey Turnpike (Interstate 95) northbound. The Skyway carries U.S. 1/9 over the toll road and nearby Passaic and Hackensack Rivers at Kearny into Jersey City. A parallel U.S. 1/9 Truck route serves Lincroft and Jersey City via surface streets and a pair of lift bridges below. - 03/15/2000
Traveling 66 miles through New Jersey, U.S. 1 enters the Garden State at Trenton and leaves alongside Interstate 95 and U.S. 9-46 across the George Washington Bridge. U.S. 1 follows the Trenton Freeway north from the tolled bridge across the Delaware River through the capital city. The highway transitions into an at-grade route with arterial and expressway portions northeast from Lawrence Township to the city of New Brunswick.
North across the Raritan River into Edison Township, U.S. 1 becomes more urban with commercialized frontage to U.S. 9 in Woodbridge Township. U.S. 1/9 overlap from a wye interchange northward through Linden, Elizabeth, Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) and Newark. East from there, the two routes travel across the famous Pulaski Skyway over the Passaic and Hackensack Rivers between Newark and Jersey City. Designated a Civil Engineering Landmark, the skyway won the American Institute of Steel Construction Most Beautiful Bridge Award upon completion in 1932.
U.S. 1/9 follow an arterial route from the Pulaski Skyway through west Jersey City to North Bergen Township, Fairview, Ridgefield and Interstate 95 at Fort Lee.
