An aerial view of the Skyway

The Pulaski Skyway is a cantilever truss structure in New Jersey carrying U.S. Highways 1 and 9 between the far east side of Newark and Tonnelle Circle in Jersey City, passing through Kearny. The Skyway spans the Passaic River and Hackensack River, the New Jersey Turnpike, many local roads, and several railroads. It is named for General Kazimierz Pulaski, the Polish military leader who helped the United States in the Revolutionary War. It is known as a 'skyway' because it travels high (41.1 meters/135 feet at its highest point) above the meadows to avoid drawbridges across the two navigable rivers. The Skyway was opened in 1932 as the last part of the Route 1 Extension, considered by many to be the first "super highway" in the United States, and is still in use in its original form, with only minor changes.
