Middlesex-New Brunswick-Old Bridge-Matawan; State S28.
Middlesex to Matawan, 23.7 miles.
Adequate accommodations.
Concrete roadbed, two to four lanes.

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.
