This drive begins in Bridgewater Township, Somerset County, and follows Interstate 78 east for nearly twenty-four miles before joining the Garden State Parkway in Irvington. Although the trip takes barely twenty minutes without traffic, it crosses one of New Jersey's sharpest transitions—from the wooded ridges and corporate campuses of the Raritan Valley to the dense urban landscape surrounding Newark, one of the nation's busiest transportation hubs.
