Today's stretch of NJ 4 was completed by 1934, not long after the opening of the bridge in 1931. Originally, NJ 4 was projected to go all the way to Cape May, New Jersey. Parts of NJ 35 and United States Highway 9 south of Woodbridge bore the NJ 4 designation prior to 1953. The Garden State Parkway was originally designed to bypass this stretch of NJ 4, and a stretch built prior to 1953 between Union and Woodbridge appeared on maps as "4 PKY". To this day, the New Jersey Department of Transportation's internal reference number for the Parkway is NJ 444, commemorating the proposal.

The number of lanes ranges from 4 lanes south of exit 4, the interchange with NewJerseyStateHighway 73, to 6 lanes between exits 4 and 8A, the interchange with NewJerseyStateHighway 32.
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.
