The new 3.2m street circuit will run through West New York and Weehawken, with the Manhattan skyline and the banks of the Hudson River serving as a background.
New Jersey state governor Chris Christie said: “The race will be run on existing roads through Port Imperial and at the top of the Palisades. People from the whole world will come to New Jersey to see this unique and exciting course.”
