WOODBRIDGE, NJ — It just became easier to access the Middlesex County Greenway in Woodbridge! On Wednesday, Woodbridge opened a brand-new access in Fords to the county greenway, a 3.5-mile shady walking, biking and running trail that runs through Metuchen, Edison and Woodbridge. The 42-acre corridor was purchased by Middlesex County in 2002. This new entrance is on East William Street in Fords. Woodbridge Twp. constructed the entrance, and added additional off-street parking there. Before Wednesday's opening, there was only one entry point to the Greenway in Woodbridge, at Raymond Street. Now there are two. The Middlesex Greenway is very popular in the area, and sits on the old Lehigh Valley rail corridor, as part of a rails-to-trails project for recreational use. Middlesex County residents use it for walking, biking and jogging.
