New Jersey 21 South (McCarter Highway) approaching the old viaduct. The Broad St. & Miller St. intersection will be replaced with ramps as part of the viaduct project.

Travelling southbound over the old New Jersey 21 viaduct. This viaduct, built in the 1930s, features two 10-ft lanes in each direction and lacks a center divider and shoulders. The new viaduct that can be seen to the right is expected to be complete in 2003. It will feature three 12-ft lanes in each direction along with full shoulders and a central divider.

Work on the approach ramps for the new New Jersey 21 viaduct in Newark. The old bussinesses between McCarter Highway and Broad St. have been removed to make room for the new viaduct ramps.
