'''Interstate 80''' ('''I-80''') is a major [[
A freeway along the I-80 corridor had been planned in 1936 and again in 1955 to provide relief along US 46 between the George Washington Bridge and the [[Delaware Water Gap]]. With the establishment of the [[Interstate Highway System]], the planned freeway, which had been identified in some planning documents as the '''Bergen–Passaic Expressway''' (which same name is also applied sometimes to I-95/Turnpike north of the I-80 interchange), was incorporated into I-80.<ref>{{Cite news |date=1964-12-12 |title=Bergen Passaic Expressway Opens Local Traffic Lanes (Published 1964) |language=en |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1964/12/12/archives/bergen-passaic-expressway-opens-local-traffic-lanes.html |access-date=2023-08-11}}</ref> The freeway was built across New Jersey in stages from the 1960s to 1973. The westernmost {{Convert|4|mi|km|spell=in}} in New Jersey was originally a rerouting of [[U.S. Route 611|US 611]] when built, although that route was later realigned back into Pennsylvania.
