Work on Atlantic County’s $1.63 million replacement of the 95-year old Cedar Bridge over Patcong Creek between Northfield and Egg Harbor Township is progressing and remains on schedule for completion this fall in coordination with the overall improvements to the intersection of the Fire and Mill Road intersection. On Tuesday, August 18 the contractor is scheduled to deliver eight precast, pre-stressed concrete beams. The beams will be joined together and anchored into the bridge abutments. The contractor will next begin installing scaffolding and form work for the concrete deck. After that, the utility brackets on the bridge beams will be installed to support the relocated gas main and new 8-foot water main.
