The bridge connects the Middlesex County communities of Woodbridge Township on the north with Sayreville on the south. With a total of 15 lanes, it is the widest bridge in the world. The northbound lanes of the bridge were opened to the public without fanfare on July 30, 1954. The bridge was formally renamed in 1974 for former Governor of New Jersey Alfred E. Driscoll, who advocated for and oversaw the construction of the Garden State Parkway, as well as for the New Jersey Turnpike.
