Getting Around

U.S. Route 22, U.S. Route 202 and Route 28 are the main commercial and travel corridors. Branchburg has no single walkable downtown tying together its major attractions, so a car is usually the most practical way to move between North Branch, Neshanic Station, RVCC, hotels, restaurants, golf and recreation facilities.

Neshanic Station is the township’s strongest historic village setting, while the Route 22/202 areas contain most hotels, restaurants and everyday visitor services.
