Raritan Valley Line's Bound Brook Station To Reopen After Fire

BOUND BROOK, NJ — The Bound Brook Station will reopen on Monday night for the Raritan Valley Line train service after a massive seven-alarm fire tore through the area nearby.

Service will resume at the station at 4 p.m. Commuters are warned that parking on the westbound side of this station will be extremely limited to allow for the ongoing fire investigation, NJ Transit said.

The Raritan Valley train line had been previously suspended on Sunday night and the Bound Brook Rail station had been closed.

Several roads in Bound Brook also remain closed including: Church Street, John Street, Mountain Avenue, Hamilton Street, and Main Street.

Just as Bound Brook's downtown area was getting back onto its feet following Hurricane Floyd in 1999, a fire ripped through a new construction apartment building complex called Meridia 2 near the train station on Sunday night at 7:53 p.m. (See Related: Roads, Schools Impacted After 7-Alarm Fire Rages In Bound Brook)
