Garden State Parkway

The Garden State Parkway (GSP) is a 172.4-mile (277-km) limited-access toll parkway that stretches the length of New Jersey from the New York state line at Montvale, New Jersey, to Cape May at the southern tip of the state. Its name refers to the state nickname, the "Garden State". Most New Jersey residents refer to it as simply "The Parkway". The Parkway's official (unsigned) designation is Route 444. The highway connects to a short segment of the New York State Thruway known as the "Parkway Extension" and which is officially designated (but unsigned) as New York State Reference Route 982L. That 2.4 mile segment connects to the Thruway mainline. The Parkway has been ranked as the busiest toll highway in the country based on number of toll transactions.

Route description

The Garden State Parkway begins in Lower Township at a traffic light with Route 109. For the first three and a half miles, the Parkway crosses over streams. At 3.48 miles, the Parkway crosses over Taylor Creek and enters Middle Township. Exit 4 is for Route 47 to Wildwood. At 6.54 miles, Parkway Exit 6, which is for Route 147 and Wildwood, leaves to the right. The first traffic light exit, Exit 9, is for Shellbay Avenue. The second traffic light intersection, Exit 10, is for County Route 657. Exit 12 is for U.S. Route 9. Exit 13 is for Avalon Boulevard. At 14.85 miles, the Parkway enters Dennis Township after crossing Uncle Aaron's Creek. At 17.5 miles, Exit 17 leaves to the right for County Route 625. At milepost 19.38, the Parkway enters its first toll, the Cape May Toll Plaza. A little more than 20 miles in, Exit 20 leaves for Route 50. In Upper Township, Exit 25 leaves for County Route 623. At 27.77 miles, the Parkway enters Atlantic County.

Just before Exit 29 for U.S. Route 9, the Parkway enters the Great Egg Toll Plaza. Exit 30 leaves to the right at milepost 30 for Laurel Road in Somers Point which leads to Ocean City via a circle and, past that, the Route 52 causeway. Now in Egg Harbor Township, Exit 36 opens onto local roads. Exit 37 is the Parkway's interchange with the Black Horse Pike (US 40/322). Exit 38 is for the Atlantic City Expressway. Now entering Galloway Township, U.S. Route 30 interchanges with the Parkway at Exit 40. Exit 44 is next, leading to County Route 561 Alternate. Just after Exit 48 for U.S. Route 9 near the Mullica River and Bass River State Forest, the Parkway enters Burlington County. Exit 50 is for Route 9 as well, while Exit 52 is for Burlington County Route 654.

Now in Ocean County, Exit 58 is for County Route 539, Exit 63 is for Route 72, and Exit 67 is for County Route 554. Exit 69 leaves to the right in both directions at milepost 70.45. Exit 74 leaves to the right, which heads to Forked River. Exits 80 and 81 are for county roads and U.S. Route 9. Route 9 then merges in for a few miles.

Between Exits 80 and 83, the Parkway has a concurrency with U.S. Route 9 just south of the Toms River Toll Plaza. It was from here that the Driscoll Expressway was to start (south of Exit 83) and run to the New Jersey Turnpike.

Route 37 interchanges with the Parkway at exits 82 and 82A in Toms River. At Exit 83, U.S. Route 9 leaves the Parkway and heads north. Exit 88 comes at 89.4 miles for Route 70. In Brick Township, Exit 90 (northbound) and Exit 91 (southbound), leave for County Route 549. Exit 98 leads to Interstate 195, Route 34 and Route 138. Exit 100 leaves southbound for Route 33. Route 66 also exits northbound. Exit 102, a southbound only exit leaves for Neptune Township.

At this point, the road is in Monmouth County. Exit 105 for Route 18 and Route 36 leading to Long Branch, is the point at which all trucks are forced to leave the Parkway. The Parkway has become local and express lanes are now provided. The express lanes have no direct access to any exits, except for Exit 105 in Tinton Falls, and Exit 117 in Hazlet. Exits 109 and 114 are for Holmdel and Middletown (which both exits are located in Middletown). The next exit, Exit 116, is for the PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel. Exit 117 is for Routes 35 and 36. Exit 117A, the exit after, is for Lloyd Road in Aberdeen. Exit 120 is for Laurence Harbor Road and Cheesequake State Park.

At this point, you have entered Middlesex County, and are currently in Old Bridge Township. Southbound Exits 123 and 124 leave to the right, but only on the Local lanes. The Express and Local lanes merge and become one highway again shortly after. Northbound Exit 125 makes a sudden exit for Route 35. Afterwards, you cross the Driscoll Bridge over the Raritan River. After the bridge, Exit 127 leaves for Routes 9, 440 and 287. At milepost 129.5, the New Jersey Turnpike leaves to the right at Exit 129. Southbound Exits 127 and 129 are merged into one exit, which is marked as Exit 129. A southbound only exit, Exit 130 is for U.S. Route 1. The next three exits are marked 131, 131A and 131B. The lettered ones are for Metropark, while Exit 131 is for Route 27.

Exit 135 is for Clark Township in Union County. Exits 136 and 137 are for Cranford Township and Route 28. Exit 138 is in Kenilworth for County Route 509. Exits 139A and 139B are northbound exits only for a local road and U.S. Route 22. Exit 140 and 140A are for U.S. Route 22 and NJ Route 82. Exit 141 is for Vaux Hall Road and Exit 142 is for Interstate 78. The 143s are for Lyons Avenue, Exit 144 is for Irvington and 145 is for Interstate 280. Exit 147 is for Renshaw Avenue in East Orange, and Exit 148 is for Bloomfield Avenue in Bloomfield. Exits 149, 150, and 151 are for Essex County roads. Exits 153A and 153B are for Route 3 and U.S. Route 46 in Passaic County.

Saddle Brook to NY State Line

As the Parkway leaves Clifton, it heads into Garfield by crossing the Passaic River. Exit 156, which comes before the river, is for U.S. Route 46 and New Jersey Route 20. There is also access to New Jersey Route 21 just south of the interchange. Cedar Lawn Cemetery is also located northbound along 20 from Exit 156. As the Parkway continues to the northeast, it interchanges with Route 46 again in Garfield. Riverside Cemetery is accessible off Exit 157 by going east along 46. At Exit 159, the Parkway interchanges with Interstate 80 in Saddle Brook. Going southbound, there is also access to Bergen County Route 67 (Midland Avenue). The Bergen Toll Plaza is next, before crossing over Saddle River County Park.

Exit 160 comes next, as the Parkway enters Paramus and interchanges with West Passaic Street, which heads to New Jersey Route 208. Not far afterwards, at Exit 161 is New Jersey Route 4. Garden State Plaza is visible from the Parkway and is off Exit 161. Exit 163 is for New Jersey Route 17 in Paramus, which heads north to Rockland County. The Parkway goes between Paramus Park Mall and Bergen Regional Medical Center as it heads north. Just after, Exit 165 intersects for Bergen County Route 80 (Oradell Avenue and East Ridgewood Avenue) in Paramus. The Parkway turns to the northwest and heads into the Pascack Valley Toll Plaza going northbound. There is a plaza southbound along the Parkway as well as Exit 166 for Bergen County Route 110 (Linwood Avenue).

As the Parkway inches closer and closer to New York, Exit 168 comes along, interchanging for County Route 502, which heads towards Ho-Ho-Kus and Alpine. 3 miles later, at Exit 171, the Parkway interchanges with Glen Road, which terminates soon after at Chestnut Ridge Road. The Parkway's Montvale Service Area comes at milepost 171 after Exit 172 which is for Bergen County Route 94. There is also access to CR 94 from the Montvale Service Area's service road. At 172.4 miles, the Parkway crosses the state line and enters New York.

Parkway Extension

The Parkway becomes the Parkway Extension and gains the designation of New York State Reference Route 982L. The road heads to the northeast and interchanges with Schoolhouse Road (Rockland CR 41) at 172.71 miles. As the Parkway Extension continues northeastward, it interchanges for Rockland CR 35 in Nanuet and comes to an end at a jughandle for the New York State Thruway northbound at Exit 14A, with exit from the northbound Extension also possible onto New York State Highway 59.

Spur routes

Two short spurs are given numbers by the New Jersey Department of Transportation. Route 444R is the connector at Exit 117 (in Hazlet) to Route 35 at the north end of Route 36 in Keyport. Route 444S is the connector at Exit 105 to the south end of Route 36 at Hope Road (CR 51) near Eatontown.

History

The Parkway was originally designated as the Route 4 Parkway when it was started in 1947 in Union County, but, due to lack of funds, only 11 miles were completed by 1950. The solution was for the state to establish the New Jersey Highway Authority in 1952 to oversee construction and operation as a self-liquidating toll road. Much of the original section, between exits 129 and 140, was long administered by the New Jersey Department of Transportation, and has always been untolled. The segment can be distinguished by the stone facing on the overpasses.

The Parkway was constructed between 1946 and 1957 to connect suburban northern New Jersey with resort areas along the Atlantic coast and to alleviate traffic on traditional north-south routes running through each town center, such as U.S. 1, U.S. 9, and Route 35. Unofficially, it has two sections: the "metropolitan section" north of the Raritan River and the "shore section" between the Raritan River and Cape May. Only 18 miles had been constructed by 1950, but taking a cue from the successful New York State Thruway, on April 14, 1952, the New Jersey Legislature created the New Jersey Highway Authority, empowered to construct, operate, and maintain a self-sufficient toll parkway from Paramus to Cape May.

The landscape architect and engineer in charge of the newly-named "Garden State Parkway" was Gilmore David Clarke, of the architectural firm of Parsons, Brinkerhof, Hall and MacDonald, who had worked with Robert Moses on the parkway systems around New York City. Clarke's design prototypes for the Parkway combined the example of the Pennsylvania Turnpike, a model of efficiency with parallels in the German Autobahn routes of the 1930s, with the Merritt Parkway model that stressed a planted "green belt" for beauty. Both design models featured wide planted medians to prevent head-on collisions and mask the glare of on-coming headlights. The Parkway, especially the "shore section", was designed to have a natural feel. Many trees were planted, and the only signs were those for exits--there were no distracting billboards. Most of the signs were constructed from wood, or a dark-brown metal, instead of the chrome bars used in the "metropolitan section". The guardrails were also made from wood and dark metal. Most early overpasses were stone, but then changed to concrete, with green rails and retro etchings, popular around the 50s and 60s. These are now in decay and being replaced by sleek, new bridges.

The Parkway was designed to gently curve throughout its length, so that drivers would remain alert and not fall asleep at the wheel.

Most of the metropolitan section is like any expressway built in the 1950s through heavily populated areas. The shore section parallels U.S. Route 9 and runs through unspoiled wilderness in the New Jersey Pine Barrens. In Cape May County, the Parkway has three traffic lights (at exits 8, 10, and 11 respectively), but these will be eliminated in the future, with construction of an overpass at Exit 10 in Cape May Court House and Stone Harbor scheduled to begin in 2009.

The Parkway had an old alignment before the Great Egg Harbor Bridge was completed. It was detoured onto U.S. Route 9 and over the Beesley's Point Bridge. This old alignment still exists today and is slowly being consumed by nature.

The Garden State Parkway was off limits to motorcycles, until Malcolm Forbes pushed successfully for legislation to allow them.

On July 9, 2003, Governor of New Jersey Jim McGreevey's plan to merge the operating organizations of the Garden State Parkway and the New Jersey Turnpike into one agency was completed.

Literature from the time of the Parkway's construction indicates that the Parkway would become toll-free once bonds used for its construction were paid off. However, additional construction projects, plus the expectation that the Parkway will pay for its own maintenance and policing (and the massive E-ZPass project) make it unlikely it will become toll-free in the foreseeable future.

Later construction

On May 1, 1993, a travel center was opened at the Montvale Service Area. In Waretown, a $16.4 million project was completed for new bridges at exit 69. The construction was completed in March of 2007. Along with the new interchange came two new toll plazas. The Parkway was widened at the location it goes under County Route 532. In 2003, the Lakewood section received a brand-new northbound entrance and southbound exit, Exit 89. In order to expand the Parkway for the interchange, the Cedar Bridge Road bridge had to be torn down and rebuilt. The whole project was completed in November 2003 and cost about $16.23 million. The same company who did the Exits 69 and 89 construction had also done work on Exit 100, 20 years before the Exit 69 construction. That project included demolishing all then-current bridges and building new ones along the newly-rerouted Route 66 and Route 33. The project in Tinton Falls cost $21.67 million to complete.

Usage

The speed limit on the Parkway is 65 mph (102 km/h) with the following exceptions: 55 mph (90 km/h) between Mileposts 123.5 and 163.3, 55 mph between Mileposts 80.0 and 100.0, 50 mph (80 km/h) between Mileposts 8.0 and 11.5, and 45 mph (70 km/h) between Mileposts 27 and Milepost 29, approaching and traversing the Great Egg Harbor Bridge, and between Milepost 126.7 and 127.7, approaching and traversing the Driscoll Bridge.

Commercial trucks with a registered weight of over 7,000 pounds (3.18 tons) are not allowed to use the northern parts of the Parkway. All trucks must exit at Exit 105, just past the Asbury Park Toll Plaza. From Tinton Falls to the southern end of the Parkway at Cape May, trucks are allowed, but must pay additional tolls. Buses are allowed for the entire length of the Parkway. The "truck" ban includes all vehicles with a gross vehicle weight rating (the vehicle's maximum fully-loaded weight including fuel, passengers and cargo), which encompasses dozens of large passenger vehicles, such as the Chevy Suburban, which can weigh in at 8,500 pounds, though in practice police do not ticket such vehicles.

Toll collection

Whereas the New Jersey Turnpike uses a system of long-distance tickets, obtained once by a motorist upon entering and surrendered upon exiting at toll gates (a "closed" system), the Garden State Parkway uses no tickets but collects tolls at toll plazas at semi-regular intervals along its length and at certain exits (an "open" system). The standard car toll is 35 cents on the main road at two-way toll plazas and 70 cents at one-way toll plazas. Some individual exits require a toll of either 25 cents, 35 cents, or 70 cents. Both the Turnpike and the Parkway now allow for payment with the E-ZPass system, which, on the Parkway, replaced the tokens which were available. Tokens originally cost $10 for a roll of 40 tokens (the toll, when tokens were introduced, was 25 cents), but when the toll was increased to 35 cents, rolls were 30 tokens for $10. Tokens are still valid at any toll plaza, but they can no longer be purchased. The NJHA has stated that they will continue to accept the tokens indefinitely, as the coin baskets will recognize them and there are no plans to modify them to reject tokens. As time passes and the supply of tokens in public hands diminishes (tokens taken in are melted down by a contractor) they will become less common. Tokens were originally brass, but were changed to a bimetallic composition, with an outer silver-colored ring and a brass core. There are also larger bus tokens that exist in each composition, primarily for the use of Atlantic City bound buses. These were sold in rolls of 20 for $20.

To reduce congestion, some toll plazas on the roadway were converted into one-way plazas between 2004 and 2007, dubbed "one-way tolling". Under this program, a 70-cent toll (or two tokens) is collected in one direction, and the other direction is toll-free. As of March 10, 2007, the Cape May (in Upper Township), Great Egg (in Somers Point), New Gretna (in Bass River Township), Barnegat (in Barnegat Township), Asbury Park (in Tinton Falls), Raritan (in Sayreville), Union (in Hillside Township), Essex (in Bloomfield Township), and Bergen (in Saddle Brook Township) Plazas had been converted to one-way toll plazas.

Originally in November 2001, E-Z Pass customers were supposed to be charged the approximate token rate, that is 33 cents (peak travel) or 30 cents (off-peak travel) instead of 35 cents. Due to tremendous cost overruns in implementing the E-Z Pass system on New Jersey's toll highways, the discount was not implemented. In addition, NJHA E-Z Pass customers were charged a $1 per month account fee, causing many customers to turn in their NJHA E-Z Pass transponder in favor of a transponder from an out-of-state authority which did not charge a monthly fee.

Most toll plazas have dedicated lanes of three varieties: E-ZPass only (at some in addition to Express E-ZPass), Exact Change (coins or tokens are deposited in a basket which mechanically counts the deposit), or manned lanes at which change is available. The manned lanes will also accept E-ZPass, the exact change lanes will not. Tolls at entrances or exits may not have all three varieties, depending upon the number of lanes available. The location of similarly-marked lanes is not identical at each plaza. To assist drivers in seeking the proper lanes, the lanes are numbered both on the booth and on the pavement leading up to them. Some lanes leading up to plazas are dedicated for E-ZPass holders only.

Signs on many of the toll baskets warn against throwing paper currency into them, which jams them.

On January 8, 2008, New Jersey Governor Jon Corzine proposed increases of fifty percent in tolls on the Parkway and Turnpike effective in 2010, to be followed by similar fifty percent increases every four years through 2022. Each times tolls increased, there would be an additional increase for inflation since the last toll increase (for the first, since 2006). This increase in tolls, which would take place on all three of New Jersey's toll roads, would, according to Corzine, help pay the state's debt. The roads would be maintained by a nonprofit "public benefit corporation" which would pay back bonds to the state. Without considering inflation, the proposal would increase the standard 35 cent toll on the Garden State Parkway to approximately $1.80 by 2022, with tolls for the entire length of the northbound Garden State Parkway rising from $4.55 to $30.10 in 2022. It was considered possible that commuters will receive discounts from the higher toll rates. However, the proposal was not enacted due to fierce opposition from the state of New Jersey. On September 5, 2008, a proposal to increase Parkway tolls substantially was reported.

Toll Plazas

Pascack Valley (formerly "Hillsdale", long a misnomer as it is actually located in Washington Township) - Both Directions / Express E-ZPass (2 lanes)
Bergen - Northbound Only
Essex - Southbound Only
Union - Northbound Only
Raritan - Southbound Only / Express E-ZPass (5 lanes)
Asbury Park - Northbound Only / Express E-ZPass (3 lanes)
Toms River - Both Directions / Express E-ZPass (2 lanes)
Barnegat - Southbound Only / (One-Way & Express E-Z Pass with Parkway Widening)
New Gretna - Northbound Only / (One-Way & Express E-Z Pass with Parkway Widening)
Great Egg - Southbound Only
Cape May - Northbound Only / Express E-ZPass (2 lanes)

The Cape May, Toms River, Asbury Park, Raritan, and Pascack Valley plazas also feature Express E-ZPass lanes, a form of open road tolling that allow motorists with E-ZPass to maintain highway speeds of up to 65 mph (100 km/h) through the toll plaza. Officials have already converted the Barnegat (in Barnegat Township) Toll Plaza to one-way tolling and will build it with Express E-ZPass for southbound drivers, which began on March 10, 2007.

Future developments

In Cape May County, at Exits 9, 10, and 11, new interchanges are to be constructed, eliminating the traffic lights currently serving the interchanges. The timetable for starting the project puts it at about 2010.
A proposed interchange at the Absecon Service Station near mile marker 41.7 in Galloway Twp would be constructed. An alternative would be to make Exit 44 or Exit 40 into full interchanges. Plans have yet to be created.
In May 2005, then Governor Codey announced a widening of the Parkway between Exit 63 in Stafford Township to Exit 80 in the Boro of South Toms River. The new Parkway setup would have 3 lanes in each direction as opposed to the current 2. However, the Turnpike Authority is now planning to widen the parkway from Exit 80 all the way south to Exit 30 in the City of Somers Point.
There are new bridges that have been proposed to be constructed across the Mullica River from the City of Port Republic to Bass River Township. No dates have been set for construction.
Exit 67 will receive a newly constructed southbound entrance ramp, and a northbound exit ramp. Construction has yet to begin and will likely see work start in the summer of 2008. On March 27th, 2008, it was revealed that the new ramps will not have toll gates.
The overpass at Exit 74 in Lacey Township is in the process of being rebuilt after a tractor-trailer carrying a portable car crusher struck and damaged the bridge on June 4, 2008. Currently the main span has been reduced from two lanes of traffic in each direction, to one lane each way, while a temporary bridge is being built parallel to the overpass to ease stress on the damaged bridge, and allow all lanes of traffic to flow evenly.
In November 2003, Exit 89 (in Lakewood Twp) was opened to traffic. Toll gates were constructed at both ramps.
Exit 69 (in Ocean Twp) was completely reconstructed. The old ramps were demolished, and a partial cloverleaf was constructed in its place. It now features a northbound entrance ramp, and a southbound exit ramp. Toll gates were constructed at the northbound entrance and southbound exit ramp. This was finished in March 2007.
A new diamond interchange, Exit 77 (in Berkeley Township) was constructed in 2006. Toll gates exist at the northbound entrance ramp, and the southbound exit ramp. To avoid destroying part of the Double Trouble State Park, the southbound interchange was constructed approximately ½ mile north of the northbound interchange.
Exit 83 (in Toms River Twp) will see improvements, notably a southbound exit ramp and all other improvements to make it a full interchange.
Exit 88 (in Lakewood Twp) will see construction around 2009 or 2010 to bring it to full interchange status.
Exit 91 (in Brick Twp) will also be upgraded to a full interchange starting sometime around 2009 or 2010.
At Exit 98 in Wall Township, the overpasses carrying NJ 138 and I-195 over the Parkway have been replaced with newly constructed ones. This project was finished in late 2006. However, this project did not improve 195's Exit 35 for NJ 34. Still to come will be a widening of the Parkway mainline below the new bridges to address the narrowing of the lanes from 4 to 3. It is unclear for how long this 4 lane widening will last for and how it will tie into the southbound entrance ramp from Route 34.
The Driscoll Bridge received a new southbound parallel span just west of the original span. This new southbound bridge boasts seven southbound lanes and emergency shoulders (currently the seventh lane is used as a northbound lane during rehab of the old spans). By 2010, a new northbound span will be constructed, consisting of eight northbound lanes and emergency shoulders.
Exit 131A in Woodbridge Township will have newly built ramps.
Exit 142 (in Union Twp and Hillside Twp) will be upgraded with new ramps that will supply missing movements between the Parkway and I-78 since I-278 was cancelled between US 1-9 in Linden and the interchange for NJ 24/I-78. The entire project will be completed by January 2012.
New overpasses and ramps were built at Exit 145 in the City of East Orange to connect to I-280. New EZ-Pass lanes will be built at the interchange toll gate.
