Towing in Bridgewater, Bound Brook and South Bound Brook, NJ: where Somerset County's big roads meet

Bridgewater Commons sits where Route 22 meets the Route 202/206 junction, and the ramps around it knot together fast at rush hour. Parking-lot bumps, dead batteries and cars that stall on the merges fill the board.

Give the dispatcher the mall entrance or the ramp you were on. Inside the parking deck, the level helps the driver decide between a tow and a push to open space.

I-287 cuts through Bridgewater with interchanges at Route 28, Route 22 and Routes 202 and 206. Truck traffic is heavy, and tire failures and overheating are common in summer.

Our trucks work the shoulders directly. Say northbound or southbound and the last exit, then wait behind the guardrail.

Bound Brook is a compact borough on the Raritan, with Main Street near the train station and Route 28 running through as Union Avenue. Low streets near the river take water in big storms.

Calls here are usually no-starts, minor crashes and cars that went through high water. A flooded car always goes on a flatbed without being started.

South Bound Brook sits across the Raritan, linked to Bound Brook by the Main Street bridge, with the Delaware and Raritan Canal along its edge. I-287 crosses the river a short way west.

The bridges have little room to stop. If a car dies on one, get clear, call, and the driver works out the safest place to load.
