Termini
As of 2004, the highway's eastern terminus is in Fort Lee, New Jersey, at the New York border in the middle of the George Washington Bridge, where it is concurrent with I-95, US 1 and US 9. Its western terminus is in Warren County, New Jersey at an intersection with I-80 and Route 94.
Signage indicates that the eastern terminus is just west of the bridge, where it merges with I-95, and a few recent signs even show it beginning where it joins US 1/US 9, several miles further west. But the NJDOT Straight Line Diagrams, the official source on those matters, end it in the middle of the bridge.
It runs for about 70 miles. The major interstate highways it passes are Interstate 95 (New Jersey Turnpike), the Garden State Parkway, Interstate 287 Interstate 80 many times, which it parallels for its length, and Interstate 280.
