Welcome to Edgewater Tunnel (Eastern Portal) Located at 388 Old River Road, Edgewater, New Jersey, the Edgewater Tunnel is a fascinating piece of local history and engineering. This former railroad tunnel, originally opened in 1894, was a crucial part of the New York, Susquehanna and Western Railway's Edgewater Branch.
