US 1 is a major route running from Key West in Florida to the Canadian border in
Maine. Prior to the construction of I-95, it was the main route along the East
Coast. It crosses the Delaware River from Pennsylvania into New Jersey in
Trenton. The first section is a short limited-access highway called the Trenton
Freeway. This highway ends after a short distance and becomes Brunswick Pike, a
large divided road with a combination of traffic lights and overpasses. US 1
runs northeast to New Brunswick and then north, parallel to the New Jersey
Turnpike (I-95). In Woodbridge, US 1 merges with US 9. The two routes are
multiplexed from this point all the way into New York. In Newark, US 1/US 9
curves to east. A long bridge known as the Pulaski Skyway crosses the Passaic
River and the Hackensack River to Jersey City. On the other side, US 1/US 9
turns north and follows Tonnelle Avenue, Bergen Turnpike, and Broad Avenue.
In Fort Lee, US 1/US 9 merges with the New Jersey Turnpike (I-95). The three
routes are multiplexed across the George Washington Bridge to New York.
