About this Location

Facility Overview

Situated at 148 E 5th St Side Lot in Bayonne, New Jersey (07002), this dedicated parking facility offers an open-air surface yard strategically designed to handle heavy-duty, commercial, and oversized vehicles. Unlike standard downtown garages that enforce strict vertical clearance restrictions, this open surface lot features unobstructed overhead clearance, making it an optimal staging and layover zone for commercial box trucks, flatbeds, utility vans, large work pickup trucks, and standard passenger vehicles alike. The perimeter layout offers straightforward maneuvering lanes and ground-level drive-in access directly off East 5th Street, catering efficiently to regional logistics drivers and local service operators.
