Running north with six lanes, the Western Spur has a full interchange with I-280 before crossing over Route 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 3, where it loses a lane in each direction. The highway reaches the exit 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 120]] and [[County Route 503 (New Jersey)|CR 503]] via Route 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>
