Why go
Walking between the parallel walls directs your attention across the water to Lower Manhattan while keeping the names of New Jersey victims close. The memorial’s open setting lets the harbor become part of remembrance, with the skyline visible beyond the steel. Its perspective complements the Manhattan memorial and shows how the attacks were felt across the river.
What to look for
- Twin steel walls honor New Jersey victims of the September 11 attacks and frame the absent World Trade Center towers.
Useful to know
- Check official access details before travel. Pair the memorial with nearby waterfront stops; there is no direct walk to Ellis Island.
- Near CRRNJ Terminal and Audrey Zapp Drive, follow current construction signs to the northern waterfront; the map point is not a verified entrance.
- Terminal Plaza is under construction, with reopening expected later in 2026. The accessible approach remains unverified; confirm it before travel.
