There are several ways to get to the Trinitas Comprehensive Cancer
Center by car, and, depending on the traffic conditions on nearby major
roads on the day you're traveling, it may be advantageous for you to choose
one route over another.
To that end, we urge you to print several sets of directions and listen to
either 1010WINS (1010 AM; traffic reports "every 10 minutes on the
1's") or CBS Newsradio 88 (880 AM; traffic reports "every 10 minutes
on the 8's"). Thus, if you are on the NJ Turnpike, heading South, and you
hear that there is a traffic jam at Exit 13A, you can get off at Exit 14 and
get to the hospital from there instead.
Here is a link* to the Mapquest map of the
local area surrounding Trinitas, and you can use the slider on the left of
the map to make it larger if you want to print a wider view of the area.
