Last Link Of Freedom Trail Bikeway Complete In South Brunswick

SOUTH BRUNSWICK, NJ — On Friday, South Brunswick held a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the last link of the Freedom Trail Bikeway at the intersection on Stouts Lane.

In February, Council voted to award a contract to complete the final 1.03 miles of the Freedom Trail Bikeway based on a $680,000 grant awarded to South Brunswick through the New Jersey Department of Transportation’s Bikeway Grant Program.

The improvements between Stouts Lane and Route 1 completed the portion of the Freedom Trail Bikeway that crosses through the Township.

With this, the entire trail now runs from Ridge Road to the vicinity of Route 1, ending approximately 300 feet from Route 1.

The site was cleared and graded for the installation of a 10-foot-wide asphalt bikeway. The improvements also include solar-powered beacon assemblies, bikeway markings and symbols, regulatory/warning bikeway signs, removable bollards, post and rail fences, site landscaping, and topsoil/seed restoration for all disturbed areas.

“We are excited to have completed the Freedom Bike Trail in South Brunswick. Many thanks to the State for their assistance in funding this final piece of the bike trail. This trail is an important part of our recreational infrastructure and is enjoyed by many,” Mayor Charlie Carley said.
