Plumbers Skyway, looking north.
Plumbers Skyway seen from the Tudor entrance.
The Plumbers Skyway is the only major freeway in the State of Alderney in Grand Theft Auto IV.
It is elevated at a great height from its Boyden Ave entrance to its western Acter portion. It nearly circles and encompasses all of southern Alderney. It begins immediately after the Hickey Bridge and circles Alderney, ending at the intersection of Asahara Rd and Boyden Avenue. Other than an intersection at Rand Avenue just after the Hickey Bridge, the Skyway has 5 exits and is the longest highway in the game.
It takes the shape of New Jersey's Pulaski Skyway from the Alderney City end up to Acter Industrial Park, and starts to take the shape of the New Jersey Turnpike in general once it reaches West Tudor and ends at the Rand Ave Intersection near the Hickey Bridge. Unlike the Pulaski Skyway, it serves more for amusement rather than functionality (as large ships cannot get past some smaller bridges blocking the waterway in Tudor) and it also allows for more buildings to occupy the area.

Now entering east Tudor, traffic begins to increase in size until the end of the Plumbers Skyway.
