The two lane bridge connects Piscataway to the north with New Brunswick to the south.

The Delaware and Raritan Canal State Park and towpath is accessible from the bridge.

(The river, though unnavigable at this location, is under Coast Guard jurisdiction as it is tidal from Raritan Bay to a few hundred yards north of the Landing Lane Bridge.)

The plaque from the 1895 metal truss structure is on display at the northern end of the bridge.

During the American Revolutionary War, Washington's troops were retreating from the British over the Landing Lane Bridge.
