Could u also do the lower level of this bridge too?

[roadwaywiz]

@wmavfacebookstyle maybe the outbound lower level, but not the inbound b/c of the toll...

Wait Route 4 isn't a freeway?

[roadwaywiz]

@tpir1972 route 4 is more like an "arterial" in that it has interchanges with the major roads it intersects, but still has at-grade intersections with other roads and business entrances.

[tpir1972]

When you ndo this NJ bound bridge again, can you go onto Route 4 West, or you only do freeways?

[roadwaywiz]

@tpir1972 i usually only do freeways so its unlikely i'll get to do route 4, especially since i still need to film sections of 80, 280, 78, and routes 21 and 3...

The toll to cross the G.Washington Br. is "OUCH"!!! $12.00 Cash toll. Hope you bought an EZ Pass. You'll NEED IT!!!

For those that don't understand; Here is what the GWB consists of. From New Jersey; The main route to the bridge is I-95/80 from Teaneck and the N.J. Turnpike (North End) at Exits 18E and 18W. I-80 East merges with I-95 North. Thus it is known as I-80/95 North&East to the Bridge. I-80 officially ends in Fort Lee, N.J. just before the bridge. The local routes to the bridge are Rts. 46-1-9 and Rt. 4. The George Washington Bridge principal route is I-95 and Rt. 1-9 to and from New Jersey.

You guys should have seen the upper level on Labor Day of 2011. I was going from the New Jersey side to New York for the US Open in the morning to see Novak Djokovic play Tipsarevic in the Louis Armstrong Stadium. On the tower closest to New Jersey, there was a huge american flag hanging down from the top of the tower. It was spectacular.

80/95 does connect with the N.J. Turnpike (north end) to the G. Washington Br. both upper and lower levels. However it's mostly I-95/ U.S. 1&9 that crosses the GWB. 80 does start West at Teaneck and the N.J. Turnpike (Main Line).

[tpir1972]

Is Route 27 known as the LINCOLN HIGHWAY the entire length?

[tpir1972]

Is the NJ Turnpike the EASTRERN & Western spur a continuation of the CAR and TRUCK lanes that merge in Newark?

[tpir1972]

And at what time frame does Route 46 begin?

[tpir1972]

@0:58 is that US Route 9 merging in on the roight to the GW Bridge? ad can you film the LOWER level both ways next time?
