New Jersey is separated from Staten Island by the Arthur Kill, a tidal strait that serves as a natural boundary between the two areas. The Kill is approximately one mile wide at its narrowest point. Additionally, the Goethals Bridge and the Outerbridge Crossing are two major connections that facilitate travel between Staten Island and New Jersey. This geographical separation is part of the larger New York Harbor estuary system.
The waterway that Richmond Terrace runs parallel to is called Kill Van Kull. Kill Van Kull separates Staten Island from Bayonne, New Jersey, and is transversed by the Bayonne Bridge. The other waterway that separates New Jersey from Staten Island (somewhat perpendicular to Kill Van Kull) is called Arthur Kill.
They share a water border, so, technically, the driving time is about 2 minutes. A tidal strait known as Kill Van Kull separates Bayonne, New Jersey from the northwest side of Staten Island. Kill Van Kull is transversed by the Bayonne Bridge. On Staten Island's western side, it is separated from New Jersey by another tidal strait, known as Arthur Kill.
