Exit 16E Northbound and exit 17 Southbound on the New Jersey Turnpike will be closed to all vehicles other than shuttle buses and rideshare drivers for 4 hours before each FIFA match, the 2 hours during the match, and for the 2 hour time window after each game is over. Exit 15X will remain open an alternate.

Detours are posted on all signage and GPS data will have all detours included as well.

Please see attached guidance showing the dates and times for each FIFA match, and the time windows where the exits will be impacted. To view additional maps of “Travel Hotspots” on World Cup 2026 Match Days, follow this link: https://njdotworldcup.nj.gov/municipalities/

We will continue to stay in close communication with the appropriate government agencies to resolve any issues or concerns that may arise as a result of these closures.
