  • News

On Tuesday night, March 10, and Wednesday night, March 11, the Ingram’s Thorofare Bridge leading to Avalon will be closed between 7 p.m. and 5 a.m. for ongoing construction.

As a result, Avalon Boulevard (C.R. 601) will be closed to traffic during those hours. The roadway and bridge will re-open after those hours and remain open thereafter. Detours will be in effect during the bridge closure, according to a Cape May County press release. Motorists heading south on Route 9 and wishing to access Avalon via Avalon Boulevard will be required to continue heading south along Route 9 until they arrive at the Stone Harbor Boulevard intersection (C.R. 657). They will then be directed east along Stone Harbor Boulevard/96th Street to Third Avenue (C.R. 619) in Stone Harbor. They will then be directed north along C.R. 619 to Avalon. Traffic exiting the Garden State Parkway at Exit 13 and wishing to head east along Avalon Boulevard will be directed west to Route 9 to follow the same detour. Motorists heading north along Route 9 wishing to access Avalon via Avalon Boulevard will be directed to head east at the Stone Harbor Boulevard intersection. Once in Stone Harbor, motorists will be directed north along Third Avenue (C.R. 619) toward Avalon. Traffic on the barrier islands wishing to utilize Avalon Boulevard to access the Garden State Parkway or Route 9 will be directed south on C.R. 619 to 96th Street, where they will be directed west along Stone Harbor Boulevard to Route 9 and the Parkway. Local traffic will be permitted to access Avalon Boulevard up to the Ingram’s Thorofare Bridge from either side, but will not be permitted to cross the bridge. Motorists should plan accordingly and obey all traffic control devices and speed limits. The bridge closure date is subject to the weather and may be changed as required.
