Basilone Bridge

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Basilone Bridge is a bridge on the New Jersey Turnpike (concurrency with Route 95) in the U.S. state of New Jersey spanning the Raritan River. The bridge connects Edison Township on the north with New Brunswick on the south.

The bridge is named for John Basilone, a World War II recipient of the Medal of Honor who grew up in nearby Raritan, New Jersey.
