The Driscoll Expressway was a proposed 38-mile-long (61 km) tolled limited-access highway that would have connected the New Jersey Turnpike with the Garden State Parkway in the U.S. state of New Jersey. The road was proposed in 1971 to alleviate traffic in the area and was named for former Governor Alfred E. Driscoll, who as chairman of the New Jersey Turnpike Authority (NJTA) would push for construction of the road. By the mid-1970s, mounting opposition from area residents and Governor Brendan Byrne led to the cancellation of the road.
