<P> The parkway had an old alignment before the Great Egg Harbor Bridge was completed . It was detoured onto US 9 and over the Beesley's Point Bridge . That bridge is currently under demolition . </P> <P> The Garden State Parkway was off - limits to motorcycles until Malcolm Forbes pushed successfully for legislation to allow them . </P> <P> On July 9, 2003, Governor Jim McGreevey's plan to merge the operating organizations of the Garden State Parkway and the New Jersey Turnpike into one agency was completed . </P> <P> Literature from the time of the parkway's construction indicates that the parkway would become toll - free once bonds used for its construction were paid off . However, additional construction projects, plus the expectation that the parkway will pay for its own maintenance and policing (and the massive E-ZPass project) make it unlikely it will become toll - free in the foreseeable future . </P>

Where does the garden state parkway intersect with the new jersey turnpike
