A very short section of [[New Jersey Route 21]] passes through Wallington. This section was built over a section of the [[Passaic River]] which was filled in to allow the highway to be constructed. However, the municipal boundary still follows the old river bed, resulting in a small section of Wallington on the west bank of the river which is mostly occupied by the highway.<ref name=NJMunicipalMap>{{cite web|url=https://njogis-newjersey.opendata.arcgis.com/datasets/newjersey::municipal-boundaries-of-nj/explore?location=40.857278%2C-74.115372%2C15.85|title=Municipal Boundaries of NJ|publisher=[[New Jersey Office of Information Technology]]|access-date=March 16, 2023}}</ref>

"Although replacing the century-old Eighth Street Bridge had been on the drawing board for decades, it wasn't until 2012 that the federal government allocated the $15 million to do the project.... The Eighth Street Bridge connects the heavily industrial lower Dundee section of Passaic with Wallington, which is more residential. Before it closed, about 6,300 vehicles a day crossed the bridge.... The plan calls for a 290-foot bridge with two lanes on both sides and a left-hand turning lane onto Main Avenue in Wallington."</ref>
