This is a lightly trafficked road right along the river on the NJ side of the bridge. There are 2 decent climbs too, one in the middle, and then the final climb out at the north end.
River road is still blocked up with trees down from the storm a couple of months ago from all reports I've seen. I think the park said they were trying to get it cleaned up by May 1st, but we'll see if that actually happens.
