Western End

495 ends at I-95 (NJ Turnpike Easterly Alignment) in Secaucus.


495 west follows the left ramp split to merge into 95 south.


95 north to the Interchanges 16E/18E toll plaza. The lanes on the right go into Interchange 16E. 495 east begins toward the Lincoln Tunnel in the last photo.


From 95 south, the access to 495 east is via Interchange 17, numbered differently because it uses a separate toll plaza. This ramp merges into 495 east as it curves away from 95 north.
