Now in Mansfield Township, the turnpike splits into a "dual-dual" configuration similar to a [[local-express lanes|local-express]] configuration. The outer lanes are open to all vehicles and the inner lanes are limited to cars only, unless signed otherwise because of unusual conditions. The turnpike now has a total of 12&nbsp;lanes, six in each direction (3-3-3-3). Just north of the split is an interchange with the Pearl Harbor Memorial Turnpike Extension, where the turnpike mainline [[Concurrency (road)|runs concurrently]] with I-95.<ref name="sld 0" /><ref name=":1" /> North of this point, the turnpike enters [[Bordentown Township, New Jersey|Bordentown Township]] and has an exit for [[U.S. Route 206|US&nbsp;206]]. Continuing northeast, the turnpike passes by a mix of residential neighborhoods and farmland and enters [[Chesterfield Township, New Jersey|Chesterfield Township]] before passing over [[Crosswicks Creek]] and entering [[Hamilton Township, Mercer County, New Jersey|Hamilton Township]] in Mercer County. The highway then reaches the Woodrow Wilson and Richard Stockton service areas on the southbound and northbound sides, respectively. After the service areas, the turnpike enters [[Robbinsville Township, New Jersey|Robbinsville Township]] and reaches an exit for [[Interstate 195 (New Jersey)|I-195]], an east–west freeway connecting the state capital of [[Trenton, New Jersey|Trenton]] with the [[Jersey Shore]]. North of I-195, the turnpike passes to the west of several warehouses and traverses numerous parks and wooded areas. After crossing [[Assunpink Creek]], the turnpike enters [[East Windsor Township, New Jersey|East Windsor Township]], where the road changes its course to a slightly more northerly path. Near [[Hightstown, New Jersey|Hightstown]] is an exit for [[New Jersey Route 133|Route&nbsp;133]], which connects the turnpike with and provides a bypass for [[New Jersey Route 33|Route&nbsp;33]] in the area. North of here, the turnpike crosses the [[Millstone River]] into [[Cranbury, New Jersey|Cranbury]], Middlesex County, and passes more warehouses on both sides of the road in addition to the southbound Molly Pitcher Service Area. After entering [[Monroe Township, Middlesex County, New Jersey|Monroe Township]], the turnpike has a modified [[trumpet interchange]] with [[New Jersey Route 32|Route&nbsp;32]] serving [[Jamesburg, New Jersey|Jamesburg]]. The interchange has a ramp for traffic seeking Route&nbsp;32 eastbound forming an "S" shape, taking traffic to Cranbury South River Road. Upon crossing into [[South Brunswick, New Jersey|South Brunswick]], the turnpike crosses CSAO's [[Amboy Secondary]] and passes by more industrial parks. The highway then enters [[East Brunswick, New Jersey|East Brunswick]], where suburban development along the corridor greatly increases, indicating the entrance to the built-up portion of the [[New York metropolitan area]]. Continuing north, the turnpike passes to the east of a golf course and has the northbound Joyce Kilmer Service Area. The route briefly enters [[Milltown, New Jersey|Milltown]] before crossing back into East Brunswick, where it passes by many homes before reaching an exit for [[New Jersey Route 18|Route&nbsp;18]] serving the county seat of [[New Brunswick, New Jersey|New Brunswick]]. After Route&nbsp;18, the turnpike enters New Brunswick and crosses over the [[Raritan River]] on the [[Basilone Memorial Bridge]] into [[Edison, New Jersey|Edison]].<ref name="sld 1" /><ref name=":1" /> The structure honors [[John Basilone]], a [[Raritan, New Jersey|Raritan]] resident who is the only United States Marine to be honored with the Medal of Honor, the Navy Cross and the Purple Heart. He died in the [[Battle of Iwo Jima]] in 1945.<ref>{{cite web |url = https://www.nj.com/somerset/index.ssf/2014/09/raritan_to_honor_its_fallen_son_with_33rd_annual_john_basilone_memorial_parade.html |title = Raritan to honor its fallen son with 33rd Annual John Basilone Memorial Parade |website = nj.com |access-date = October 24, 2018 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20181024234124/https://www.nj.com/somerset/index.ssf/2014/09/raritan_to_honor_its_fallen_son_with_33rd_annual_john_basilone_memorial_parade.html |archive-date = October 24, 2018 |url-status = dead |date = September 16, 2014 }}</ref>

After crossing the Raritan River, the turnpike passes by several warehouses and industrial parks before crossing CSAO's Bonhamtown Industrial Track line and reaching an exit serving [[Interstate 287|I-287]] and [[New Jersey Route 440|Route&nbsp;440]]. Soon afterwards, the turnpike passes over the [[Middlesex Greenway (New Jersey)|Middlesex Greenway]] and enters [[Woodbridge Township, New Jersey|Woodbridge Township]], where it reaches an exit serving the [[Garden State Parkway]] and [[U.S. Route 9 in New Jersey|US&nbsp;9]]. North of this interchange is the headquarters of the NJTA. From Woodbridge Township to Newark, [[high-occupancy vehicle lane]]s (HOV lanes) exist on the outer roadway (truck lanes), thereby making it seven lanes in each direction (4-3-3-4). The HOV restrictions are in effect on weekdays, from 6:00&nbsp;a.m. to 9:00&nbsp;a.m. northbound, and 4:00&nbsp;p.m. to 7:00&nbsp;p.m. southbound (at times, the NJTA might suspend the HOV restrictions entirely during peak hours in case of unusual conditions).<ref>{{cite press release |title = Hybrid vehicle use in N.J.

Past this point, the turnpike crosses the [[Woodbridge River]] and reaches the Grover Cleveland Service Area northbound and the Thomas Edison Service Area southbound. After passing over CSAO's [[Port Reading Secondary]] line, the turnpike enters [[Carteret, New Jersey|Carteret]] and begins to run parallel to CSAO's [[Chemical Coast Secondary]] line, which is located east of the turnpike. In Carteret, the highway comes to an interchange serving both the borough and [[Rahway, New Jersey|Rahway]]. Immediately north of the interchange, the Wallberg-Lovely Memorial Bridge carries the turnpike over the [[Rahway River]]. The bridge is dedicated to Private Martin Wallberg from Westfield, and Private Luke Lovely from, [[South Amboy, New Jersey|South Amboy]], the first soldiers from New Jersey to die in World War I.<ref>{{cite web |url = https://www.legion.org/memorials/237595/wallberg-lovely-bridge |title = Wallberg-Lovely Memorial Bridge |website = legion.org |access-date = October 24, 2018 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20181024192217/https://www.legion.org/memorials/237595/wallberg-lovely-bridge |archive-date = October 24, 2018 |url-status = dead }}</ref> In [[Linden, New Jersey|Linden]], the turnpike passes to the east of a large industrial park before reaching an exit for [[Interstate 278]], which traverses the nearby [[Goethals Bridge]]. North of this point, the speed limit drops to {{convert|55|mph|km/h|abbr=on}}, and the turnpike crosses the [[Elizabeth River (New Jersey)|Elizabeth River]] into [[Elizabeth, New Jersey|Elizabeth]]. After bisecting residential areas, the route comes to an exit for the [[New Jersey Route 81|Route&nbsp;81]] freeway, providing access to [[Newark Liberty International Airport]]. While passing to the east of the airport and Brewster Road, the turnpike also passes to the west of the [[Elizabeth Center]] big-box center and the [[Port Newark–Elizabeth Marine Terminal]] upon entering [[Newark, New Jersey|Newark]].<ref name="sld 1" /><ref name=":1" /> A section of the turnpike and the surrounding land in Elizabeth and Newark has been called "the most dangerous two miles in America" by New Jersey Homeland Security officials due to the high volume of traffic and the density of potential terrorist targets in the surrounding area.<ref>{{cite news |url = http://www.cnn.com/CNN/Programs/anderson.cooper.360/blog/2006/08/most-dangerous-two-miles-in-america.html |title = The most dangerous two miles in America |access-date = March 27, 2007 |last = Cooper |first = Anderson |author-link = Anderson Cooper |date = August 15, 2006 |publisher = CNN |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20110627195649/http://www.cnn.com/CNN/Programs/anderson.cooper.360/blog/2006/08/most-dangerous-two-miles-in-america.html |archive-date = June 27, 2011 |url-status = dead }}</ref>
