TOMS RIVER – The left lane of the bridge coming back from Seaside will be closed from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m. on Mondays through Thursdays starting on April 16, the New Jersey Department of Transportation said.
The work will take a few weeks, the department said. The center lane might also be closed if needed. However, there will always be at least one lane heading west.
The eastbound lanes will have no closures.
Drivers are asked to drive slowly and carefully through the construction area. There will be signs to alert them to traffic changes. Expect delays heading west on these days.
Bridge deck and joint repairs need to be done, they said. It’s part of a $9.6 million maintenance contract.
The timing of the construction may vary due to factors such as weather.
