AVALON BLVD. BRIDGE TO HAVE ONE LANE CLOSED THIS SUMMER

Work on the Avalon Blvd. Bridge is going slower than anticipated. There will only be one lane in and one lane out for the Memorial Day weekend, and a second lane in will be added by July 4. The project has slowed with additional work that had to be done around the bulkhead during the winter and delays from the utility companies in moving wires. Cape May County Engineer Dale Foster said no additional lanes could be reopened for the Memorial Day holiday, but that the extra lane into Avalon would come before July 4.
