DonnaK Posted August 29, 2015 #2 Share Posted August 29, 2015 You have to go over the Goethals bridge to the NJ tpke north a short distance to exit 14A east, over the Newark Bay bridge to RT 440 South a short distance to the port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
138east Posted August 29, 2015 #3 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Directions from NJ Turnpike Exit 14A into Cape Liberty The ramp is straight across the toll plaza. Here's a video. No real street signs. Please print out my directions. Others have followed them successfully. The signage is poor. When you come through the toll plaza there are lots of choices and you have to make a quick decision as to where you are going. For a first timer there's not time to stop and try to spot the correct little sign and I'm not sure the names of all the streets are clearly marked. GPS is notoriously bad in this area. After you pay your toll you go straight across the toll plaza and get on a 2 lane ramp that goes up and curves left. This is hard to miss. On the ramp you stay on the right and make the first right, stay to the right and make another right. You will come to the light at route 440 where you will make a left, stay left, and make a left at the first light onto Goldsborough Drive. Route 440 is a four lane divided highway. You can only turn left at a traffic light - going south the first light is now at Goldsborough Drive. The left turn into the port used to be at Port Terminal Blvd (and it still is coming the other way), but they shut down that turn fairly recently and made Goldsborough Drive the main port access road coming from the north. Goldsborough Drive will merge with Port Terminal Blvd. You will be able to see the ship and you just follow the crowd about 2 miles out to the ship.

Outerbridge or Goethals Bridges, then take Turnpike North--get directions from Google or MapQuest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
