BRIDGE SECTION

The Bridge Section monitors the condition of the County’s 142 bridges and 108 culverts. They also design replacement bridges and monitor construction of new bridges and culverts. In a recent evaluation by the State of New Jersey, Middlesex County was found to have the third lowest number of deficient bridges in New Jersey. This is especially important when you realize the 2 Counties with less deficiencies had only 1 or 2 bridges.

The Bridge Section also is responsible for drainage on County roads. We are embarking on an ambitious program to provide positive drainage along all County roads, especially those that presently have open ditches. This condition is quite prevalent in the southern part of the County.
