[[File:2020-07-14 08 35 13 View south along Interstate 95W (New Jersey Turnpike Western Spur) at Exit 14 (Interstate 78, U.S. Route 1, U.S. Route 9, Newark Airport, Holland Tunnel) in Newark, Essex County, New Jersey.jpg|thumb|left|New Jersey Turnpike (I-95) southbound approaching the I-78/US&nbsp;1–9 interchange in Newark]]
After reaching the north end of the airport, the HOV lanes end, and the turnpike comes to an interchange with [[Interstate 78 in New Jersey|I-78]], which is also the Newark Bay Extension of the turnpike east of the mainline. North of I-78, the turnpike passes over CSAO's Chemical Coast Secondary, Greenville Running Track, and [[National Docks Branch]] at the [[Oak Island Yard]]. At this point, the car-truck lane configuration ends, and the turnpike splits into two spurs: the Eastern Spur (the original roadway) and the Western Spur (opened in 1970). Both are signed as I-95. The Western Spur is posted for through traffic on I-95 seeking [[Interstate 280 (New Jersey)|I-280]] and the [[George Washington Bridge]], while traffic seeking [[U.S. Route 46|US&nbsp;46]], [[Interstate 80 in New Jersey|I-80]], and the [[Lincoln Tunnel]] is routed via the Eastern Spur. NJDOT, which calls every class of highway "Route", calls the Western Spur "Route&nbsp;95W". The NJTA refers to the complex series of roadways and ramps linking the car–truck lanes, the two spurs, as well as traffic heading to and from I-78 as the "[[Southern Mixing Bowl]]".<ref>{{cite web |title = Manual for Traffic Control in Work Zones |url = http://www.state.nj.us/turnpike/documents/NJTA-Manual-for-Traffic-Control-in-WorkZones-5-11.pdf |publisher = New Jersey Turnpike Authority |access-date = June 11, 2012 |url-status = dead |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20130603025550/http://www.state.nj.us/turnpike/documents/NJTA-Manual-for-Traffic-Control-in-WorkZones-5-11.pdf |archive-date = June 3, 2013 }}</ref> Both spurs have an exit for [[U.S. Route 1/9 Truck|US&nbsp;1-9 Truck]] and pass under the [[Pulaski Skyway]] ([[U.S. Route 1/9|US&nbsp;1-9]]) at this point before crossing over CSAO's [[Passaic and Harsimus Line]],<ref name="sld 1" /><ref name=":1" /> and will meet up at US&nbsp;46 and I-80 to continue to the George Washington Bridge where the Turnpike will eventually end.

====Eastern Spur====

The Eastern Spur crosses the [[Passaic River]] on the [[Chaplain Washington Bridge]], which honors Rev. [[John P. Washington]] who gave up his life jacket and died as the ''SS Dorchester'' sank on February 3, 1943.<ref>{{cite web |url = http://davchapter16greenburghny.org/test_four_chaplains.html |title = The Four Chaplins |website = davchapter16greenburghny.org |access-date = October 24, 2018 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20180901145208/http://davchapter16greenburghny.org/test_four_chaplains.html |archive-date = September 1, 2018 |url-status = dead }}</ref> After crossing over tracks carrying [[PATH (rail system)|PATH]]'s [[Newark–World Trade Center]] line, NJ Transit's [[Morris & Essex Lines]], and [[Amtrak]]'s [[Northeast Corridor]], the spur surfaces into [[Kearny, New Jersey|Kearny]], Hudson County, as a six-lane highway, and has a partial interchange with [[Interstate 280 (New Jersey)|I-280]], containing only a southbound exit and northbound entrance. Past this point, the spur passes over [[New Jersey Route 7|Route&nbsp;7]] and crosses the [[Hackensack River]] on the Lewandowski Hackensack River Bridge. The bridge was named in honor of the three Lewandowski brothers, Army Private Alexander, Marine Sergeant Walter and Air Force Lieutenant William, who were killed in action during World War II within 18 months of each other.<ref name="HNJ" /> The turnpike then enters [[Secaucus, New Jersey|Secaucus]] and crosses the railroad right-of-way of the future [[Essex-Hudson Greenway]] and runs along the east side of [[Snake Hill]]. It then passes over NJ Transit's [[Main Line (NJ Transit)|Main Line]] at [[Secaucus Junction]] station, which serves NJ Transit trains running along the Northeast Corridor and the Main Line. After the southbound lanes have the Alexander Hamilton Service Area, the turnpike reaches the exit&nbsp;18E toll plaza, serving as the northern end of the ticket system. Immediately afterwards is an interchange with [[New Jersey Route 495|Route&nbsp;495]] and [[New Jersey Route 3|Route&nbsp;3]], providing access to the [[Lincoln Tunnel]]. After passing through swampland in the [[New Jersey Meadowlands|Meadowlands]], the spur crosses into [[Ridgefield, New Jersey|Ridgefield]], [[Bergen County, New Jersey|Bergen County]]. Here, the Eastern Spur comes to the northernmost service area on the turnpike, the Vince Lombardi Service Area. After passing over the [[New York, Susquehanna and Western Railway]]'s New Jersey Subdivision line and [[CSX]]'s [[River Subdivision (CSX Transportation)|River Subdivision]] line, the highway merges back together with the Western Spur as it passes east of [[PSE&G]]'s [[Bergen Generating Station]] and crosses [[Overpeck Creek]] into [[Ridgefield Park, New Jersey|Ridgefield Park]], where the turnpike comes to its original northern terminus at [[U.S. Route 46]].<ref name="095sld">{{cite web |author = New Jersey Department of Transportation |url = http://www.state.nj.us/transportation/refdata/sldiag/00000095__-.pdf |title = Interstate 95 straight line diagram |location = Trenton |publisher = New Jersey Department of Transportation |access-date = November 17, 2017 |url-status = live |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20160304210126/http://www.state.nj.us/transportation/refdata/sldiag/00000095__-.pdf |archive-date = March 4, 2016 }}</ref><ref name="sld 1" /><ref name=":1" />

====Western Spur====
The [[Harry Laderman Bridge]], named after the first turnpike employee killed on the job,<ref name="HNJ">{{cite web |url = http://www.hiddennj.com/2013/04/hidden-names-bridging-turnpike.html |title = Hidden New Jersey |website = hiddennj.com |access-date = October 24, 2018 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20170923150036/http://www.hiddennj.com/2013/04/hidden-names-bridging-turnpike.html |archive-date = September 23, 2017 |url-status = dead }}</ref> carries the Western Spur over the Passaic River and then tracks carrying PATH's Newark–World Trade Center line, NJ Transit's Morris & Essex Lines, and Amtrak's Northeast Corridor. Running north with six lanes, the Western Spur has a full interchange with I-280 before crossing over Route&nbsp;7 and the former Boonton Line. The spur then enters [[Lyndhurst, New Jersey|Lyndhurst]] and crosses NJ Transit's Main Line and Berrys Creek before passing over NJ Transit's [[Bergen County Line]] and entering [[East Rutherford, New Jersey|East Rutherford]]. Here, the Western Spur has a junction with Route&nbsp;3, where it loses a lane in each direction. The highway reaches the exit&nbsp;18W toll plaza before passing by the [[Meadowlands Sports Complex]] and the [[American Dream Meadowlands|American Dream]] shopping and entertainment complex, which are served by a southbound exit and northbound entrance with connections to [[New Jersey Route 120|Route&nbsp;120]] and [[County Route 503 (New Jersey)|CR&nbsp;503]] via Route&nbsp;3. After crossing the Hackensack River, the Western Spur has access to the Vince Lombardi Service Area before crossing the New York, Susquehanna and Western Railway's New Jersey Subdivision line and CSX's River Subdivision line and merging with the Eastern Spur.<ref name="sld 2" /><ref name=":WSmap">{{google maps |url = https://www.google.com/maps/dir/40.7248153,-74.1329902/I-95,+Ridgefield,+NJ+07657/@40.7665393,-74.0658706,18909m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m9!4m8!1m0!1m5!1m1!1s0x89c2f78365701f9f:0xe9c31ac5e755b518!2m2!1d-74.0202814!2d40.8351157!3e0 |title = Overview Map of Western Spur of New Jersey Turnpike |access-date = December 22, 2019 |link = no }}</ref>
