Newark Airport Interchange
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Newark Airport Interchange is a massive interchange of Interstate 78, U.S. Route 1/9, U.S. Route 22, Route 21, and Interstate 95 (the New Jersey Turnpike) at the northern edge of Newark Airport in Newark, New Jersey, just outside of New York City.

The Newark Interchange is a complex interchange in eastern New Jersey that opened to the public on January 15, 1952.[1] At the opening of the turnpike, the interchange provided access to the airport via U.S. Route 1/9.[2] In 1956, the Port of New York Authority (operator of Newark Airport) and the New Jersey Turnpike Authority announced a $9 million improvement project to construct graded interchanges that would offer direct access to the airport.[3][4]
After the completion of Interstate 78 through the Newark area in the 1970s, it became part of the interchange complex. Exits 57 and 58 of I-78 take passengers to Newark Airport and Downtown Newark. At the eastern end of the interchange, I-78 enters toll barriers, crosses Interstate 95 and becomes the the Newark Bay Extension of the New Jersey Turnpike. The eastern terminus of U.S. Route 22 and the southern terminus of Route 21 are both at the interchange. The interchange provides access to Newark Liberty International Airport.
