The New Jersey Turnpike is more than a road, it's a cultural icon. Built in only two years, it opened in November 1951, changing the landscape of the state forever. As this episode states in conclusion, "Amid all the congestion and all the concrete, the New Jersey Turnpike continues to provide a window on New Jersey, with all its grit... and all its glory."
"It Happened Here: New Jersey" is a production of Kean University, in partnership with the New Jersey Historical Commission. Additional funding is provided by the Brotherton Trust and AT&T. The series is produced by PCK Media. For more information about this and other activities planned for New Jersey's 350th Anniversary, visit www.officialnj350.com.
