The Portway Project is of planned transportation infrastructure improvements to improve Intermodal freight transport along a corridor between Port Newark-Elizabeth at the south and intermodal terminals in North Bergen in the north, generally running parallel to U.S. Route 1/9 in the northeastern New Jersey and rail lines in Conrail's North Jersey Shared Assets Area.

The extensive project is conceived to facilitate freight transshipment through the Port of New York and New Jersey known as Portway.

Funding for the project comes from the New Jersey Department of Transportation and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.
