Bridgewater Road Improvements Continue Near Pluckemin



Just a smidge south of the Route 78 overpass, as it runs above Route 202/206 near the Bridgewater and Pluckemin border, progressive site and road work continues for a planned 180,000 square foot building, to be built by Cushman & Wakefield.

This work is so close to both communities, that the site and road work literally flow into one another. The first photo is a view of 202/206 looking north, just across the street from the Bridgewater Manor. The second shot shows the road leading into the new site and to the entrance for the Manor, near the Tropea Restaurant.

This is an extremely busy area. The planners seem to have done a good a job in accounting for the flow of north and southbound traffic into the site, while allowing for easy entrance into the Bridgewater Manor. It’s clear that there was cooperation between the parties. The former entrance into the Bridgewater Manor was covered over, and is replaced by a divided access point (see photo above) into and out of Route 202/206. Located right next to the former driveway, it will allow Bridgewater Manor patrons to enter their parking lot, about 100 feet from 202/206.

Another driveway into the new building site is for southbound traffic only and is just a few yards past the Route 78 overpass on 202/206 south.

There are a significant number of newly installed traffic lights – none of which are yet activated – which will meter traffic into and out of the access point near the Bridgewater Manor.
