Page "Holland Tunnel" Paragraph 9

The approach to the Holland Tunnel in Jersey City begins where the Lower Level of NJ 139 and the Newark Bay Extension meet.

On May 6, 1936, the section of what became NJ 139 / I-78 between Jersey Avenue and Marin Boulevard was named in memory of John F. Boyle, the former interstate tunnel commissioner.

Boyle Plaza is the only segment of I-78 and NJ 139 that has stoplights, as it runs concurrent with 12th Street ( the eastbound lanes ) and 14th Street ( the westbound lanes ) in Jersey City.
