After crossing over the [[Raritan River]], I-287 enters [[Franklin Township, Somerset County, New Jersey|Franklin Township]], [[Somerset County, New Jersey|Somerset County]], and becomes the Captain (Ret) Joseph Azzolina, US Navy Highway. Soon after the river, there is an interchange with [[County Route 527 (New Jersey)|CR&nbsp;527]].<ref name=sld/> After CR&nbsp;527, the freeway makes a turn to the northwest and passes a mix of residential areas and business parks.<ref name=gm/> The road has an interchange with CR&nbsp;623 (Weston Canal Road) before crossing the Raritan River again and continuing into [[Bridgewater Township, New Jersey|Bridgewater Township]].<ref name=sld/> Within Bridgewater Township, I-287 curves north-northwest and passes over Conrail Shared Assets Operations's [[Lehigh Line (Conrail)|Lehigh Line]] and then both [[NJ Transit]]'s [[Raritan Valley Line]] and [[County Route 533 (New Jersey)|CR&nbsp;533]] near [[TD Bank Ballpark]], which is home to the [[Somerset Patriots]] baseball team. Past this area, the road encounters [[New Jersey Route 28|Route&nbsp;28]] at an interchange.<ref name=sld/><ref name=gm/> Past Route&nbsp;28, the freeway turns northwest and passes over [[Norfolk Southern Railway]]'s Middle Brook Industrial Track line before it intersects [[U.S. Route 22 in New Jersey|US&nbsp;22]] at a partial interchange with a northbound exit and entrance and southbound entrance. From this point, I-287 makes a turn to the west and runs to the north of US&nbsp;22 as it has a wide median.<ref name=sld/> The freeway turns northwest as it passes near the [[Bridgewater Commons]] shopping mall and reaches a partial interchange with [[U.S. Route 202 in New Jersey|US&nbsp;202]]/[[U.S. Route 206|US&nbsp;206]].<ref name=sld/><ref name=gm/> Through the remainder of New Jersey, US&nbsp;202 parallels the course of I-287.<ref name=gm/> At this point, I-287 gains a [[local–express lane]] configuration, with three local and two express lanes southbound and three express and three local lanes northbound. Both the southbound local and express lanes have access to southbound US&nbsp;202/US&nbsp;206 at this interchange, whereas northbound US&nbsp;202/US&nbsp;206 only has access to the local lanes of northbound I-287.<ref name=sld/>

From here, the road continues north past suburban residential areas, with the northbound direction narrowing to two local lanes, before entering [[Bedminster, New Jersey|Bedminster]].<ref name=sld/><ref name=gm/> Here, I-287 intersects [[Interstate 78 in New Jersey|I-78]] at the Vincent R. Kramer Interchange, where the local–express lane configuration ends. Access from eastbound I-78 to southbound I-287 is only to the local lanes. Meanwhile, the express lanes of northbound I-287 provides access to westbound I-78 while the local lanes provide access to eastbound I-78.<ref name=sld/> Following I-78, I-287 heads north with four northbound lanes and three southbound lanes into more wooded surroundings, reaching another interchange with US&nbsp;202/US&nbsp;206.<ref name=sld/><ref name=gm/> At this point, the freeway median widens again as it turns northeast before continuing more to the east and entering [[Far Hills, New Jersey|Far Hills]]. Within Far Hills, the road passes under [[County Route 512 (New Jersey)|CR&nbsp;512]] before the northbound direction narrows to three lanes and the wide median ends. Entering [[Bernards Township, New Jersey|Bernards Township]], I-287 runs east-northeast to an interchange with [[County Route 525 (New Jersey)|CR&nbsp;525]].<ref name=sld/> After the CR&nbsp;525 interchange, the road gains a wide median that narrows again before the road runs under NJ Transit's [[Gladstone Branch]], heading more to the northeast.<ref name=sld/><ref name=gm/> Before leaving Bernards Township, there is an exit for North Maple Avenue.<ref name=sld/>
