John Basilone Veterans Memorial Bridge in 2020
The John Basilone Veterans Memorial Bridge is a bridge in New Jersey that crosses the Raritan River and connects Raritan with Hillsborough in Somerset County. The bridge was built in 2005[1] to replace the smaller Nevius Street Bridge built in 1886. The Nevius Street Bridge today functions as a pedestrian bridge. The bridge connects First Avenue and what used to be the short one way block of Lyman Street in Raritan with River Road in Hillsborough. After crossing into Hillsborough, the road curves to meet up with the old alignment with the Nevius Street Bridge. The bridge is named for local World War II hero, John Basilone. The bridge has a pedestrian tunnel underneath its northern approach, as part of the Raritan River Greenway.
