The Lincoln Highway Bridge crosses the Passaic in the vicinity of Kearny Point Reach[12] following the route that was once Newark Plank Road.

At its western end there are connections to Raymond Boulevard, US Route 1/9, and the New Jersey Turnpike.

Since the nearby Pulaski Skyway prohibits trucks they often use Route 1/9 Truck to serve traffic at Port Newark, Newark Airport, the Holland Tunnel and the numerous intermodal freight transport facilities in the New Jersey Meadowlands.

[13][14][15] Studies are being conducted as part of an extensive project conceived to facilitate freight transshipment through the port known as Portway.

[19] It was designed by the firm of Ash, Howard, Needles, and Tamman in conjunction with Morris Goodkind of the New Jersey Highway Department to incorporate many innovative concepts of the era.
