Starting from Eastbound Interstate 80
Getting to Saint Anthony’s from the Eastbound lanes of Interstate 80 is quite straightforward except for leaving Interstate 80 itself. For that you need to pay close attention to these directions.
You can relax until you pass the City of Paterson. In addition to the signs for it the city itself will be visible on your left, distinguished by the domed Passaic County Court House. A couple of miles beyond that Interstate 80 divides into express and local lanes. Take the local lanes which will be the right fork.
Now you can relax again until you have passed exit 65. The best strategy here is to get into the third lane from the left. Sometimes this will be the rightmost lane, sometimes it won’t. I’m giving you plenty of time here, but traffic on this portion of Interstate 80 can be quite heavy so you may need the time.
The tricky part here is that the right exit and the wrong one are only separated by one overpass, and the most prominent signs are for the wrong one. This is because the wrong one is the New Jersey Turnpike which is fine if you’ve decided to go to Philadelphia or Washington D.C. instead of Saint Anthony’s.
The Wrong one is exit 68A. The right one is Exit 70. The sign for Exit 68A will say Exit 68A South to NJTP, 46, Sports Complex, each inside their appropriate logo. There will also be signs for Exit 68B. Ignore them. As you approach Exit 68A you will see:
An overpass with two signs, one saying 80 Ends 95 Begins, the other is another sign for Exit 68A
Exit 68A itself which will cut off to the right from the third lane, the one you should be in. Ignore it stay in the third lane.
Another overpass immediately beyond the cut off for Exit 68A.
As you pass under this overpass you will see Exit 70 immediately on your right. Take this exit.
Proceed along the ramp. You will come to another overpass with two more exit signs for Exit 70A and Exit 70B. Take the 70B one which will also say Teaneck. To do this go under the overpass and take the ramp just beyond it. There is a hidden stop sign at the top of the ramp. Go to the second traffic light and turn right. You will be on Teaneck Road. Odometer measurements start from this traffic light.
From here you simply head straight north until you get to your next turn, Liberty Road on the Teaneck-Bergenfield border. This is a distance of 2.7 miles.
| Miles | Description |

| 1.3 | You will pass under an overpass at this point. The road on the overpass is New Jersey State Route 4. |
| 2.7 | At a traffic light just as you emerge from a residential area into a business district Liberty Road will be on your right. Turn right onto Liberty Road. Note that the business buildings on the corner give way to apartment houses almost immediately after the turn.
Note: If you notice that Teaneck Road has become South Washington Avenue you have passed the turn and must go back. The turn for Liberty Road is at the exact point that the name of the road changes. |
| 3.0 | You will come to a fork in the road. Take the left fork which will be Ivy Lane. |
| 3.1 | The apartments on your left will give way to a golf course. |
| 3.2 | You will pass a border sign telling you that you are entering Englewood. Don’t panic, it is only Englewood on the side of the street that you’re on. The left side of the street is Bergenfield, the town in which Saint Anthony’s is located. |
| 3.4 | The first building on your left at the end of the golf course is Saint Anthony’s. The church has a parking lot around it.
