The Nevius Street Bridge.

First constructed in 1886, the Nevius Street Bridge is known locally for it’s historically stylish framework and breathtaking views @ sunrise and sunset.

The bridge is a double-intersection metal truss bridge that once carried vehicle traffic across the Raritan River between Hillsborough Township and Raritan Borough.

The center of the bridge features open walking space accompanied by matching rows of benches on either side.

In warmer months, the bridge is often home to recreational activities such as yoga classes and couples photo-shoots.
