Driscoll Bridge

Driscoll Bridge is a toll road bridge spanning the Raritan River and connecting Woodbridge Township to Sayreville along the Garden State Parkway. The structure carries 15 travel lanes designed to handle the flow of vehicles between these two towns.

Construction of the bridge was completed in 1954 as a two-lane structure across the Raritan River. Over the following decades, it underwent successive expansions to increase capacity, reaching its current 15-lane configuration by 2006.

The bridge carries the name of Governor Alfred E. Driscoll, given in 1974 as a tribute to mid-century infrastructure growth across New Jersey. It serves as a daily passage for thousands of commuters, shaping how people move between towns on opposite sides of the river.

Southbound traffic must stop at Raritan Plaza toll booth to pay the crossing fee. Cash payments are straightforward, while E-ZPass users benefit from slightly lower rates on this regularly used crossing.

Drivers crossing the bridge can catch glimpses of the Lower Manhattan skyline across the water on clear days. This view offers a reminder of how close this crossing is to the region's largest city.
