Starting from the Northbound New Jersey Turnpike
Getting to Saint Anthony’s from the northbound lanes of the New Jersey Turnpike is quite straightforward except for leaving the turnpike itself. For that you need to pay close attention to these directions.
Proceed north on the New Jersey Turnpike all the way to Exit 18, the last exit number on the turnpike. It’s not actually an exit, you still have over 4 miles to go on the turnpike. Don’t worry about divisions in the turnpike, they will come back together again before you have to do anything about getting off. As you move along the turnpike note that there are mileage markers on the side of the turnpike every tenth of a mile showing the distance from the south end of the turnpike.
After you leave the toll booth at Exit 18 there will be more exits but for historical reasons they will have much higher numbers and will not be consecutive with Exit 18. Work your way over to the right so that you are in the right hand lane by the time you reach milepost 118.
Exit 70, the exit you will be using, requires that you take a ramp to your right twice within 4 tenths of a mile. Get off at the first one at milepost 118.3. Stay to your right and get off again at the second one at milepost 118.7. The ramp will curve gently to your right then join another one coming in from your left which is coming off Interstate 80.
Proceed along the ramp. You will come to an 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 |
| 0.0 | Entry onto Teaneck Road |
| 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. |
