New Jersey State Highway 18 is a state highway in New Jersey, United States. Its southern terminus is at Wall Township, New Jersey at New Jersey State Highway 138; its northern terminus is at River Road in Piscataway, New Jersey. Plans are in place to eventually extend the highway south to Brielle, New Jersey and north to Interstate 287 in Piscataway (see Interstate 87).
NewJerseyStateHighway18 runs through the eastern part of the township.
The extension of the NewJersey Turnpike to East Brunswick in 1951 led to a sharp spike in population growth.
In the CDP the population is spread out with 26.0% under the age of 18, 6.2% from 18 to 24, 29.3% from 25 to 44, 26.9% from 45 to 64, and 11.6% who are 65 years of age or older.
The NewJersey Turnpike is a toll road in NewJersey and is one of the most heavily traveled highways in the United States.
The NewJersey Turnpike is a toll road, using a system of long-distance tickets, obtained once by a motorist upon entering and surrendered upon exiting at toll gates.
In November 2004, acting NewJersey Governor Richard Codey advocated a plan to widen the Turnpike, extending the dual-dual configuration 20.1 miles south from exit 8A to exit 6, by 2011, when the Pennsylvania Turnpike is supposed to complete an interchange that will connect its road to the existing I-95 in Bucks County.
