On Monday, Sept. 17, beginning around 4 a.m., the Townsends Inlet Bridge linking Sea Isle City with Avalon will be closed as part of the planned replacement of seven deteriorated spans at the southern end of the bridge, Cape May County announced Wednesday.
It is anticipated that the bridge will remain closed until May 22, 2019, as the county’s contractor, Agate Construction, removes this portion of the structure on the Avalon side.
The proposed work will include the demolition of spans one through seven, installation of new piling, installation of new pier caps, installation of new stringers and installation of a new concrete deck and railing system.
Through traffic heading north along Ocean Drive (C.R. 619) will be detoured onto Avalon Boulevard (C.R. 601). Through traffic heading south along Landis Avenue (C.R. 619) will be detoured onto Sea Isle Boulevard (C.R. 625). Residents living adjacent to the bridge will have full access to their homes at all times.
