PBSJ PS-2 1988, NJ, is a two-inch survey disk set flush in the surface of the sidewalk that runs along the north side of Woodbridge Ave (County Route 652) near the east end of the overpass of the New Jersey Turnpike in Woodbridge, Middlesex County, NJ. The disk is 48.5 feet east of the eastern-most expansion joint of the overpass bridge, about 42 feet north of and across Woodbridge Ave from wood utility pole 8744U 12707WB, 24.5 feet north of the centerline of Woodbridge Avenue, 20.0 feet east of the east end of the balustrade wall and chain-link fence that runs along the north side of the overpass bridge, 11.0 feet east of the east end of a storm drain, 3.67 feet north of the south edge of the curb, and 3.0 feet south of a metal guardrail. The monumenting agency is unknown, and the disk is not in National Geodetic Survey database. It is stamped PBSJ PS-2 1988. To reach from the intersection of Main Street (County Road 514, aka Woodbridge Ave in the town of Edison two miles to the southwest) and Amboy Avenue (State Route 35) in downtown Woodbridge, go east-northeast for about 0.37 miles to the T-intersection with Berry Street. Turn right and go southeast on Berry Street for about 0.1 miles to the intersection with Woodbridge Ave leading east. Turn left and go east on Woodbridge Ave for about 0.15 miles to a spur road at the west end of the bridge and on the south side of Woodbridge Ave. Park on the spur road and pack north across Woodbridge Ave and east across the bridge for about 0.22 miles to the disk in the sidewalk, just beyond the eastern-most expansion joint. Recovery of this station was first logged at the Geocaching datasheet for station G38, PID = KV0200.
