2. It wasnt the 19th century but the 20th century

3. Nowadays when I hear "this thing made in America is the best in the world" I take that with a grain of salt…

4. 16:46 And it gave James Gandolfini time to smoke a cigar on the way to the bank in the early 2000’s!

5. TOLL was just $2.70 for the entire length of the turnpike back in the 1980s and maybe before that. NOW it's $19.45 unless it went ⬆️ since last year.

6. As a strong New Jersey advocate, I hate the Turnpike and Parkway. 1. Highways were for getting places at high speed in cars, not sitting in traffic. Turns out that cars were a net negative for society. 2. They seem to mostly serve out-of-staters with wildly different driving habits: overly cautious and going slow in the left lane Pennsylvanians and needlessly aggressive and entitled New Yorkers (don't take it too personally, guys. Facts are facts ;-)). I'm only partially joking on this, but I say drop tolls for NJ residents and raise tolls for out-of-staters and use the money to fund transit alternatives. 100% on the need to use the right-of-ways for trains/resurrect the old train lines. And not only for longer distances. It's absurd that northeast New Jersey, with a population density comparable to the outer boroughs doesn't have a robust rapid transit system. Want to make driving easier in the great Garden State? Build more mass transit. A perfect illustration of the problem is that the Turnpike is planning to widen the I-78 section that bottle necks into the Holland Tunnel at a cost of over $10 billion. Why? To funnel more cars to sit in traffic in Jersey City? No thanks, use the money elsewhere.

7. Infrastructure in USA is far better than Canada. Eisenhower was a genius. Canada is the richest country run by idiots.

8. The PA turnpike is much longer and goes through much more difficult terrain, it was built more than ten years before the NJ pike, both used similar toll systems (I don't think magnetic strip cards existed in '51). The PA pike connects Philadelphia, Harrisburg, and Pittsburgh although it doesn't go directly into these cities, later on extension were made to NJ, OH, and the Scranton Wilkes-Barre area. The PA pike was built on an old abandoned railway ROW for most of its length, this made ROW acquisition much easier and faster.

9. This is the first time I have heard anyone say anything nice about this nightmare of a road. Over the decades it has become a family punchline, shorthand for bowels of hell.

10. King highway ❤❤

11. "How the New Jersey Turnpike changed the alignment on my car forever"

12. Cresskill nj.. I was hallucinating each time I was raped schizophrenically because they were casting demonic spells on me it took a life time of trying to figure out what happened to me now I know. On top on top of the fact that I was raped my sister was also raped by Anthony Treont and it was order by the mafia boss Rego cause he moved to town and had to make an example of elementary school aged children. The Cops were in on it my parents were in on it the whole town was in on it. I will go to the press with my truth of God story if any of you ever come near me again. That was only the beginning of the false accusations slander and religious persecution I suffer at the hands of my family parents and this community in the worst religious persecution story in American history. There has never been a Prophet of God that has had more false accusations said about him from his own family the Jewish people in town and Donnelly Rivirad valley badurina the whole town is the spot for the worst religious persecution story since Jesus himself. The entire town threw countless basketball games lost on purpose to keep me from everything I worked so hard for for 4 years watch any game from the 97 98 season rutherord Cresskill 99 00 completely throwing games left and right. Any summer league game for 4 years. There has been 0 punishment for the wicked persecutors of Cresskill nj no jail time no prosecutions nothing they think because of there bank accounts they are allowed to break God's laws and human laws.. I will promise all these people one thing you will not get into the kingdom of God. IF you think your bank account gives you a right to rape frame curse innocent children for going to church your going to never be trusted by God with another penny in your bank account ever again.. Right now your eternal forever bank account is negative your un godly people who practice idolatry in every sense of the word and when you die you will be tortured and in prisoned for the rest of eternity and you will have no one to blame but yourselves and you will realize when you get there and you can never leave that you all belong there. Your the biggest frauds and pathological liars in American History, JEsus is king

13. I always hated driving this road

14. Born and raised in Newark N.J. Live in Georgia now and i must say i miss the NJ highways. Plenty of lanes and well maintained and lit . Turnpike is a leader in highways in many ways. Seperating the trucks is ingenious. The south have the worse exits ever plus not enough lanes at all (2) on average. And i wont mention lack of highway patrol. Kudos to those who designed and maintain the Turnpike .

15. Please do a video on the Garden State Parkway, much beauty flows in and around that part of New Jersey.

16. Ya mentioned the song "You can't catch me" but left out the 10 years of racial profiling on the turnpike. I know this is a human but sometimes I wonder…

17. Fingers crossed for the Atlantic City Expressway

18. Jon Bon Jovi is alive..

19. Comparing this to the PA turnpike which opened in 1940, and is still in a perpetual state of incompleteness

20. The Turnpike as well as the GSP are really pretty incredible infrastructure undertakings. Both highways crossing high over the wetlands of Hudson County was always incredible to me. I've always traveled the GSP more, being on the shore, so that has a special place in my heart though. Exit 98 for life!

21. As a cross country truck driver, I discovered many business and warehouses were built to accompany the NJ Turnpike. Calling for directions to best get to and leave their companies, most included exits from the Turnpike as only way to achieve this. Since many local roads were not designed with the use of weight, length, and overhead clearance of today's modern 18 wheel vehicles the Turnpike is indeed the safest way (although definitely not the cheapest).

22. My step Grandpa worked on the New Jersey Turnpike in 1950.

23. I was born and raised in New Jersey. And I have driven every road in my homestate. I personally think the Garden State Parkway is the most scenic road in New Jersey. I did like watching the traffic speed along the portion of the New Jersey Turnpike at Newark Liberty International Airport. Fascinating to me.

24. Why is the usa so incredibly addicted to spending countless misserable hours behind the wheel in trafic.
    If you already have a highway with something like a dozen lanes and you still encounter masive congestion, you'd think that people would come to the conclusion that continuing on the same path is utter madness?

    Adding more asphalt really isn't the solution.

25. Turnpikes were, believe it or not, inspired by Hitler's own, which were part of his program after he came to power

26. You should do a video on the Pennsylvania Turnpike.
    Built long before the New Jersey turnpike and the gateway to Pittsburgh and the Ohio Valley.

27. The narrator sounds so familiar and I can't put my finger on it…

28. The NJT and Garden State Parkway are two of the big reasons that transportation is responsible for 42% of the total state climate emissions which are much higher than the 27% average and it is responsible for 70% of NOx emissions. They are also the reason the State will not meet the goals of the 2020 (NJ) Energy Master Plan. Every expansion to these roads will make the situation worse. Lanes should be reduced in number and the money spent on public transportation infrastructure. If cities around the world can do it, what does it say about the level of intelligence for places like NJ? It's already been done elsewhere for over a century and the state (and country) still fails to be able to do what is relatively simple to do – since it's already been done hundreds of times.

29. Need to an update on the widening between 9 and 6.

30. Years after the NJ Turnpike was finished, engineers noticed that a section of the Turnpike's concrete was far more durable and lasted longer than the rest of the Turnpike. They investigated and found that the concrete batch plant that was used for that part of the highway was very worn out and every day the operators of the plant would pump many gallons of grease into the worn out bearings of the plant. This grease ended up mixed into the concrete causing it to have micro bubbles in it. These bubbles gave freezing water a place to expand into, protecting the concrete from cracking. Today all concrete exposed to freezing water has additives in it that give it micro bubbles, or air entrainment.

31. The rest stops were made famous by the carousing of ex-governor Ms. Mgreevy.?

32. Darling, the Pennsylvania Turnpike was the first!

33. E-ZPass was not just introduced in 2000, i had it in 1998 for the bridges and tunnels into NYC
