Demolition, site work, paving and new construction of a bridge / tunnel in Rumson, New Jersey. Conceptual plans call for the demolition of a bridge / tunnel; for the construction of a bridge / tunnel; for site work for a bridge / tunnel; and for paving for a bridge / tunnel.

The proposed project is to replace the structurally deficient and functionally obsolete bridge. Constructed in 1939, repaired and rehabilitated at various times, the bridge is in need of a major improvements. The Bridge Re-Evaluation and Structural Inventory and Appraisal concluded that the overall condition of the bridge is critical due to the condition of the superstructure and substructure. The condition of the superstructure is "serious" due to heavy rust throughout steel members with small corrosion holes in girder webs, section loss to floor beam bottom flanges, and areas of severe section loss to rivet heads at connections and bottom flanges. The substructure was found to be in "poor" condition due to wide cracking and deep spalls with exposed and severely rusted reinforcing steel (100% section loss to many bars) in the concrete columns, towers, and pier caps. county : Monmouth Municipality : Middletown Twp, Rumson Boro As of July 09, 2026, the project is in Conceptual status.
