In addition, when traveling southbound, away from the city, there is a sign welcoming drivers to New Jersey and the New Jersey Turnpike highway directly below the bridge, adding to the scenery.
Prior to the 21st century, there also used to be the seal of New Jersey on both sides of the bridge, also adding to the scenery aspect.
[3] The road on the bridge is part of Edgewood Road, a street that connects residential communities in Leonia, Englewood, and Fort Lee separated by the I-95 highway.
[4] While the borough of Leonia passed an act in 2018 banning non-Leonia residents from most residential streets in the morning and evening hours,[5] Edgewood Road and the bridge was not included because of its connection to nearby Route 4 and being one of three crossings of the Turnpike/I-95 in between I-80 and Route 4; the other two being Grand Avenue (Route 93/CR 501) and Broad Avenue.
Route 4, a major highway, leads into the George Washington Bridge to the east, and central Bergen County and Paterson to the west, so this bridge provides residents a shortcut to the highway.
