The Newark Airport Interchange is a massive interchange of Interstate 78, U.S. Route 1-9, U.S. Route 22, New Jersey Route 21, and Interstate 95 (the New Jersey Turnpike) at the northern edge of Newark Liberty International Airport in Newark, New Jersey.
The New Jersey Turnpike Authority (NJTA) refers to this area as the Southern Mixing Bowl of the New Jersey Turnpike system of highways because it is at the point where the Newark Bay Extension of the turnpike meets the mainline, and where the mainline northbound splits into the western spur and eastern spur.[1]
