*This is all fictional and elaborated as what I think may have happened if the powers that be had decided to build these highways* 

Driscoll Expressway (I-795)

In the late 1960's the N.J. Turnpike had become such a success that a need for spurs off the main highway were needed.  The Garden State Thruway had somewhat lost steam, and the Turnpike Authority decided to pick up the idea.  Officially the name was changed to the Driscoll Expressway, and by 1970 rights of way began to be purchased.  Soon plans had been drawn up for the Turnpike Spur and construction was slated to begin.  The Driscoll Expressway started to see work begin in the summer of 1973, built in three phases the first was from South Brunswick to Route 33 west of Freehold.  The second was from the Route 33 to Route 70, both were completed and opened by spring of 1977.  The third phase ran into some trouble however, as protesters picketed the highway's approach on the peaceful Ocean County.  The Turnpike Authority had a hard time convincing the citizens that this highway was needed.  The residents remained determined to fight the toll highway to the very end.  Finally an agreement was made, the Driscoll Expressway would become toll free south of Route 70.  The Turnpike Authority was reluctant about this decision, but needed the southern portion of the highway if they expected the northern section to do well.  Construction began on the southern third phase in summer of 1982.  The median was kept wide along the entire stretch of highway so as to preserve the natural landscape.  The third and final section opened in the fall of 1985.  In the coming years the Toms River area and U.S. 9 especially began to get congested.  It was decided to utilize the free section of the Driscoll Expressway as a bypass.  A small connector was made just north of Route 70 before the first toll plaza.  Once complete in 1990 it channeled cars back onto U.S. 9 into Lakewood.  The remaining section of U.S. 9 north of the Parkway was renamed Route 166.  At this same time it was decided to give the entire Driscoll Expressway a designation, and after submitting it to the federal listing it was given the number of Interstate 795.  This meant however, that the state had to maintain the free section of the highway until it met the first toll plaza. 

Western Jersey Turnpike (Route 92)

Around the same time the Driscoll Expressway got started the Route 92 freeway was being planned by the NJDOT and they were having difficulty getting it off the ground.  Originally, the highway was meant to run from Route 33 to Interstate 95 which was under construction.  Eventually the NJDOT gave up on the plan and passed the idea to the Turnpike Authority, they made plans to extend it much further north to facilitate the needs of trucks who currently used local roads to access western New Jersey.  Since no trucks were allowed on the Delaware Valley Parkway (Route 69), the plan was to have the toll highway provide that missing access.  Route 69 ran from Trenton at U.S. 1 to U.S. 202 just south of Flemington, and with an extension planned north of there these new sections would be built to handle trucks.  The path of Route 92 had it meeting Route 69 at Exit 30, south of there trucks would be prohibited and needed to utilize the Western Jersey Turnpike (Route 92).  This would provide a neccessary connection to the western parts of New Jersey, with access to Interstate 80 and Interstate 78 via Route 69.  This highway like the Driscoll Expressway had a hard battle to fight.  The residents of Hunterdon and Middlesex Counties were the worst of any other when it came to highway construction.  However, construction began on both ends of the highway to ensure it's completion in the north and south.  By the summer of 1977 more then 50% of the highway was complete, but it was still disjointed.  As compensation for the middle section of Route 92, it was decided that the Rock Mill National Wildlife Refuge would be expanded considerably to set aside land from being developed by the path of this new highway.  The limited amount of exits also helped in curbing sprawl along the Route 92 corridor, like the Driscoll Expressway (I-795) each highway only had seven exits.  On May 20th, 1981 the Western Jersey Turnpike was fully opened, just in time for the busy summer season.  Being that it was a part of the Turnpike system, one could travel from Route 69 to the Delaware Memorial Bridge or Lakewood without having to stop to pay a toll.  This was also possible when traveling the Driscoll Expressway (I-795).

When given a ticket from a toll plaza, the exits would be broken down into six categories for better association.  The first on the list would be Interstate 95, the northern section of the N.J. Turnpike (Exit 39-Exit 70).  Second would be Interstate 295, the southern section of the N.J. Turnpike (Exit 1-10).  The third would be Interstate 795, the Driscoll Expressway (Exit D1-D7).  The fourth would be Route 92, the Western Jersey Turnpike (W1-W7).  The fifth would be Interstate 695, the western bypass of Interstate 95 in Secaucus (Exit 1-8).  The sixth would be Interstate 78, the Newark Bay Extension of the N.J. Turnpike (Exit 58A-58E).

Here the Western Jersey Turnpike (Route 92) meets I-295, the mainline N.J. Turnpike.  Only certain movements are provided here since I-295 can reach I-795 from the previous exit (Exit 8A) and vice versa.  The most traveled ramps would be from I-295 (northbound) to Route 92 (northbound) and then the southbound ramps back.  Since Route 92 is a part of the N.J. Turnpike system, there would be no exchange of tickets when traveling between these two highways, much like traveling from the PA Turnpike (I-276) to the Northeast Extension (I-476).

Interstate 795 & Route 92 (Exit D6) - Coming Soon

When constructing Exit D5, it was found best to create one connection between Route 33 and CR 527 (Spur), rather then two.  Allowing for best traffic flow, a cloverleaf was made between Route 33 and CR 527 (Spur).  This cloverleaf was connected to the Driscoll Expressway along a connector road.  The curve helped to slow drivers entering and leaving the toll plaza.  In the coming years traffic increased at Exit 21, and so did the number of accidents from motorists darting over.  A solution was made by seperating traffic from Route 33 (eastbound) before it met the cloverleaf, by using a collector-distributor road.

Interstate 795 & Routes 38 and 218 (Exit D4) - Coming Soon

The Driscoll Expressway for a time had ended at Route 70, which is why most traffic is shunted into one set of ramps.  A toll plaza once existed on these ramps which leaded to Route 70.  When this section of Interstate 795 became free, a new toll plaza was built north of this exit.  The plaza on the exit ramps was removed as soon as it was complete, and the free section was fully opened.

Here the Driscoll Expressway meets Route 37 in a modified trumpet interchange.  Access to Mule Road brought about this interchange's unusual design.  Once this interchange opened with the free highway, motorists could now bypass the interchange between Route 37 and the G. S. Parkway.  Trips to the Jersey Shore were made much easier with the Driscoll Expressway complete.

Interstate 795 and the Driscoll Expressway end here, and U.S. 9 takes over as a surface arterial south to Beachwood.  High speed flyover ramps connect the G.S. Parkway with the Driscoll Expressway for better access.  This interchange took the longest of any other on the highway to open.  Before it was, traffic was shunted onto Route 37 at Exit D2.  Railroad Ave also had to be realigned to better meet CR 530 and CR 619.
