Originally, I-280 was supposed to go through Newark on an entirely new road. Ramps were built to take the highway through the north end of Newark. That project was eventually canceled, and so through traffic on I-280 only has two lanes to utilize an expressway that was built in the 1950s as NJ 58 and leads across the Stickel drawbridge. (The exit ramp has three lanes.) The freeway was then connected to the opposite side of the bridge in Harrison.
