Originally posted by SC: What is the exit that has three letters (14??). One of them is the one that goes to Liberty State Park. I don't think any of the exits have three letters. After the Turnpike splits off into the Eastern and Western Spurs, all the exits are labeled with an "E" or "W", depending on the spur. 14W immediately leads into Route 78 West. 14E is really "78 East" because it takes you into Manhattan via the Holland Tunnel and then onto the BQE, which is 278. But there are a few exits before you hit the tunnel -- one for Bayonne, one for Liberty State Park in Jersey City, and at least one and possibly two others in Jersey City as well. Maybe I'll put the movie on and check the scene out and then go for a ride.

Originally posted by Don Cardi: There are several reasons that a studio would use a stand in back then. The most common reason would be for a situation like this one; The scene at Woltz's place may have already been shot and now Duvall is over shooting another scene at a totally different location. In this case, it was basically just the fact that the stars were shooting in NY, and the estate was in Cally, so they used a second unit to shoot these scenes....

I just watched the scene again.
The picture that SC posted is the first time you see the car coming around the curve. The Empire State Building is clearly visible in a way that makes me think the scene is too far north to be Jersey City.
But when they pull over so Clemenza can take a leak and Paulie can get shot, the only thing visible in the backround is the Statue of Liberty, which would be too far south to be seen from exit 16W.

Are you sure that when you are traveling south and get off at exit 14, once you're on the exit ramp they don't label it 14E for Manhattan and 14W for Route 78 West?
I know all about the "15X". That's gonna service the Secaucus Transfer Station, and should also be a shortcut for me to get home.
Now, when I get off at 16W, I have to take Route 3 East for more than a mile, then go down Meadowland Parkway. With the new exit, it's just a few blocks via the backroads where the outlets are.

Yes. When the Roadway divides for Exit 14, you have 2 choices. Exit '14' for Route 78 West and Newark Airport, etc. And Exits '14A', '14B', '14C', for Bayonne, Jersey City, and The Holland Tunnel. This is the "Newark-Bay Extension" built in 1956.

As for the east and west exits that you guys are trying to figure out, isn't it 17E to go to Manhatten? Don Cardi
