What tow truck work looks like in Elizabeth, NJ
Elizabeth is a few minutes from our Linden yard; the calls here run on NJ Turnpike, Routes 1 & 9 and Route 27 (Newark Avenue / Elmora) and the town's own streets and lots.
The largest city in Union County and the fourth largest in the state: dense row-house and apartment blocks around Broad Street and Elmora, the port and the Turnpike on the east, Newark Airport on the north border. Street parking is tight everywhere except the outlets; taxis, rideshares, port trucks and airport traffic share narrow one-way streets.
Mostly street parking and small driveways in the residential wards, with big open lots at the outlets, IKEA and the port. Downtown has a few decks; expect to move a car to the entrance before loading.
NJ Turnpike
Exits 13 and 13A serve the city; the 13A ramps to the port and IKEA back up daily and the shoulder is narrow.
Routes 1 & 9
The main artery through the city past the airport and the port entrances; heavy truck traffic and constant rear-end collisions at the lights.
Route 27 (Newark Avenue / Elmora)
Runs from Linden through the Elmora section toward Newark; tight curbside parking and buses.
I-78
Passes the northern edge of the city near the airport with the Turnpike interchange; breakdowns in the express/local split.
Commuter lots
Dead batteries and lockouts at Elizabeth station (NJ Transit Northeast Corridor) and North Elizabeth station (Northeast Corridor) are regular roadside calls, most of them early morning and evening.
