EHT-LONGPORT BRIDGE COULD BE SHUT DOWN FOR REPAIRS

Egg Harbor Township officials approved a plan on Wednesday to shut down the EHT-Longport bridge for repairs from Labor Day into the spring of 2014. The original plan for a $3.1 million rehabilitation called for partial lane closures over a two-year span, but that would cause traffic congestion for two summer seasons. Longport commissioners will consider the new proposal and plan a vote on February 20th.
