New Jersey Roads - New Hampton Bridge
New Hampton Bridge, Musconetcong River

Seen from the Lebanon, Shoddy Mill Rd. Bridge side. Those in Washington would call it the Rymon Rd. Bridge, so "New Hampton" is the compromise, for the settlement on the east shore.

Heading west into Washington; the river has curved to a north-south path here. The stone wingwall is flared on the northwest corner of the bridge because Rymon Rd. curves suddenly and sharply northward.

Poke around the truss stanchions and see if you can find the lucky build date!

Back east toward the land of shoddy mills. Globbing pavement over wood planks sure seems like something a shoddy miller would do.

Poking around the ruins of New Hampton, which apparently just abut someone's house in their backyard, no big deal. I see what looks like an old doorstop and mechanical means for sliding doors. Look, no lie, I'd love to have this in my backyard too. Maybe a castle...

Closing on roads, one small piece of historic curb with no context.

Speaking of closing, the old New Hampton Bridge was sadly closed due to deterioration. Just a block east, there is a new truss on New Hampton Road, which I'm sure would love to take the name of the old bridge. These photos are NB.

And these are SB.
