• Decision Made: Oceanic Bridge Will Have 65-Foot Clearance (tworivertimes.com) — Plans are moving ahead for a new fixed-span Oceanic Bridge linking Rumson and Middletown, with a 65-foot clearance, no weight limit, and a shared-use path for walkers and cyclists. For Rumson residents, the project will keep the bridge aligned with Bingham Avenue and eventually connect directly to Victory Park, while construction timelines, traffic changes, and a new Middletown roundabout will shape daily commutes for years.
• Breast Cancer Previvor Shares Her Health Journey with Monmouth Medical Center High Risk Breast Cancer Program (rwjbh.org) — A Rumson mother describes how genetic testing led her to choose a preventative double mastectomy through Monmouth Medical Center's High Risk Breast Cancer Program, easing years of anxiety. Her experience highlights how local women can access risk assessment, counseling, and advanced breast care at nearby Jacqueline Wilentz Breast Center locations in Monmouth County.
• Rumson-Fair Haven Wins 2026 Shore Conference Girls Tennis Title (tworivertimes.com) — Rumson-Fair Haven's girls tennis team has captured the 2026 Shore Conference title, edging Manasquan 3–2 after upsetting top-seeded Holmdel.
