Bridge Construction Right On Schedule

Posted March 27th 2023

A couple of bridge construction updates thanks to Cape May County Engineer Bob Church:

GREAT CHANNEL BRIDGE STONE HARBOR: Work began in December. Traffic is currently limited to one lane, so please plan accordingly. Workers have removed the existing fender system and installed a new fiberglass-reinforced fender system. Steel repairs, which were a priority, are now nearly complete. Electrical upgrades and new span locks are scheduled to begin the last week of March. The project is on schedule and the contracted work is expected to be completed by May 24.

21st AND 25th STREET BRIDGES IN AVALON: The work that has been taking place on both bridges for several months is an abutment rehabilitation. As part of the design, fiberglass sheeting has been installed in front of existing timber abutments. This will serve as both a permanent sheeting and a protectant for the concrete. Once the abutments are rehabilitated, top side repairs to the cracked parapet walls will begin. This project also is on schedule, expected to be complete by May 20.
