| This is the beginning of the freeway section of the Cross Bayonne Connector (NJ 440) northbound in Bayonne. The connector, which originally ended near here and was originally designated as NJ 169, is a divided arterial for most of its route along the east side of Bayonne. Although built as a non-freeway replacement for the cancelled Bayonne Freeway (NJ 440) along Bayonne's west side, this short one mile section near the New Jersey Turnpike Newark Bay Extension (I-78) is a full freeway.

| This is the beginning of the freeway section of the Cross Bayonne Connector (NJ 440) southbound in Jersey City. The Cross Bayonne Connector, which was built originally as NJ 169, was originally constructed to connect the east-side ports of Bayonne and Exit 14A of the New Jersey Turnpike Newark Bay Extension (I-78) with the Bayonne Freeway (NJ 440), which was planned to traverse the west side of Bayonne. When the freeway was cancelled, the connector was extended south as a divided arterial along the east-side ports to connect with the Bayonne Bridge (NJ 440), just as the Bayonne Freeway (NJ 440) had been planned to do along the west side. However, this small section near the New Jersey Turnpike Newark Bay Extension (I-78) meets full freeway requirements. This section begins in the photo above, as the short section of undivided roadway between Exit 23 (Avenue C, Garfield Avenue) and the short existing section of the Bayonne Freeway (NJ 440) ends.

Visible directly ahead were the now-destroyed Twin Towers of the World Trade Center. The roadway splitting on the left is Cavin Point Road (NJ 185). Filmed May 15, 2001. |
