Peter’s Brook and Raritan River Greenway
Making Pedestrian Safety a Priority
We designed extensions of the greenway system in Somerville and Bridgewater, making it safer for pedestrians and bicyclists to travel throughout the community.
The newest section of the Raritan River Greenway winds along the river. We applied context-sensitive design principles to enhance the experience of those using the trail while minimizing environmental impacts.
We evaluated multiple locations so pedestrians and bicyclists can safely cross over the heavily travelled Route 202/206 corridor.

We delivered conceptual study, design, and construction services for two greenway extension projects in Somerville and Bridgewater, New Jersey. The Peter’s Brook and Raritan River Greenways are multi-use trails providing pedestrians and bicyclists with a safe, convenient path to several schools, parks, and shopping areas within the communities. A new bridge over the heavily travelled Route 202/206 corridor furnishes a critical link within the system. Our strong working relationships with state agencies allowed us to assist in securing right-of-way and permit approvals.
