Middlesex-New Brunswick-Old Bridge-Matawan; State S28.
State S28 runs southeast from the Watchung Mountains, paralleling the
Raritan River, water highway of early settlers. Crossing the river at the
busy industrial town of New Brunswick, the highway traverses a plateau
and then runs through low-lying farms and woodlands offering better than
average rural scenery.
State S28 branches southwest from State 28 (see Tour 17) at the western edge of MIDDLESEX, 0 miles (40 alt., 3,504 pop.) (see Tour 17).
The highway runs through the suburban residential section of East
Bound Brook. During the Revolution the New Jersey militia in this section carried on guerilla warfare against the British and Hessian garrison
of New Brunswick, to protect the flank of Washington's position in the
Watchung Mountains to the west.
The highway runs close to the river, which in flood times often comes
close to the roadbed.
Middlesex to Matawan, 23.7 miles.
Adequate accommodations.
Concrete roadbed, two to four lanes.
