Kearny and Croxton in the low-lying Meadowlands supports an infrastructure that includes many unnamed bridges, embankments, flyovers, and causeways.

The Manhattan Transfer was once located in the Kearny Meadows. The Kearny Connection allows transfer between the Hoboken and Newark Divisions of New Jersey Transit rail operations for its Waterfront Connection. The Sawtooth Bridges carries the Northeast Corridor over NJ Transit, PATH, and Conrail.

The Main, Bergen County, Pascack Valley, Meadowlands, and Port Jervis lines uses a series of embankments and bridges to cross the Meadowlands. Planned expansion of Secaucus Junction includes a massive loop. Numerous junctions, including the Marion, and the Northern Running Track are part of the Conrail's North Jersey Shared Assets Area, a component in the national freight rail network. Much of the New Jersey Turnpike travels along a causeway. Nearby Snake Hill, Exit 15's huge horseshoe-shaped U-turn rises above the rail yards and lines below it.
