The Hollow Brook Road Bridge is a historic truss bridge that carries Hollow Brook Road over a tributary of the Lamington River in Tewksbury Township of Hunterdon County, New Jersey, United States.[3] Built around 1880, the steel bridge was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 12, 2002, for its significance in engineering and transportation.[1][4] It was listed as part of the Historic Bridges of Tewksbury Township, Hunterdon County, New Jersey Multiple Property Submission (MPS).[5]

The bridge is a single-span, pony truss bridge that carries a narrow road over the Hollow Brook, a tributary of the Lamington River. It was built using a variation of a Bollman truss or Fink truss. According to the nomination form, this is the only example in the county of this type.[4]
