The Randolphville Bridge, also known as the South Randolphville Road Bridge over Ambrose Brook, is a historic road bridge located in the Randolphville section of the township of Piscataway in Middlesex County, New Jersey, United States.

History and description

[edit]

The two-span arch bridge was constructed from 1938 to 1939, funded by the Works Progress Administration. It carries South Randolphville Road over the Ambrose Brook. The use of ornamental stone parapet walls with decorative caps give it a rustic look.[3][4]
