About this file
This document is a visitor directions guide for accessing the Ellis Island Bridge and U.S. Park Police Post 4 checkpoint.
The document provides detailed driving directions for visitors traveling to Ellis Island via the New Jersey Turnpike Newark Bay Extension. Key routing instructions include: exiting at Exit 14B and bearing left immediately after tollbooths; following signs to the Statue of Liberty/Ellis Island Ferry; navigating a traffic circle to the right onto Morris Pesin Drive (lined with flags); turning left onto Freedom Way and continuing approximately 9/10 mile; and identifying the asphalt drive marked "Ellis Island Deliveries / Authorized Vehicles Only" on the right side of Freedom Way, which features concrete barriers. The directions emphasize driving slowly due to potential pedestrian and cyclist traffic on the approach road.
Upon reaching the checkpoint at U.S. Park Police Post 4, visitors must stop for mandatory inspection. The inspection process requires visitors to present a photo ID, raise the vehicle hood, open the trunk, and complete a temporary ID tag form. A private security guard will verify the visitor's name against a pre-arranged list and may issue a temporary parking tag. The document includes an accompanying map showing the route in blue with specific landmarks and the checkpoint location clearly marked.

Directions to the Ellis Island Bridge
U.S. Park Police Post 4
(Bridge Access)
Exit 14B
Road not marked, Look for sign
“Deliveries Only”
Directions to the Ellis Island Bridge for visitors:
1. (a) Depending on your starting location, drive north or south on the New Jersey Turnpike to the Turnpike Newark
Bay Extension (Exits 14 A-B-C) and head East on the Extension towards the Holland Tunnel.
(b) If you are driving West, through the Holland Tunnel to New Jersey, keep to the right for several blocks after you exit the tunnel in Jersey City. You will eventually come to signs directing you to the New Jersey Turnpike.
Take this Turnpike road and pass through the first tollbooths then follow the instructions beginning with #2 below.
2. Leave the extension at Exit 14 B, bearing to the left immediately after passing through the tolls. DO NOT drive over the bridge to your right!
3. Follow the signs to the Statue of Liberty/Ellis Island Ferry. You will quickly come upon a traffic circle where you will bear to the RIGHT, going past the circle and heading down a road, Morris Pesin Drive, that is lined with flags. You will reach a barrier further along that road at which point you should turn LEFT onto Freedom Way.
4. Follow Freedom Way about 9/10th of a mile at which point you will see an asphalt drive turning off on your right with a sign saying “Ellis Island Deliveries / Authorized Vehicles Only,” with concrete barriers further down in the direction of the island.
5. You should turn right and drive slowly along this road… there are sometimes bicyclists, joggers, etc. crossing the road. Please yield to pedestrians.
6. When you reach the checkpoint (Post 4) you must STOP for inspection by the United States Park Police. The
Officer will ask you to present a photo ID. Raise the hood of your vehicle and open the trunk for inspection. The private security guard at the guardhouse will check a list for your name, which has been placed there in anticipation of your arrival. He or she will ask you to fill out a temporary ID tag form to place on your clothes and may provide you with a temporary parking tag for your car.
