The Townsends Inlet Bridge connects Sea Isle City and Avalon.
The Townsends Inlet Bridge connecting Sea Isle City and Avalon will be closed to traffic from 10 a.m. to noon Sunday for a construction project.
The closure will allow a contractor to complete a critical phase of a new “fender system” that is designed to protect the bridge from boat collisions and enhance its long-term durability, according to the Cape May County Bridge Commission.
The contractor will continue installing foundation pilings beneath the bridge that form the structural framing system for the fender system.
Detour Information:
Motorists traveling between Avalon and Sea Isle City during closure hours will be directed to use Avalon Boulevard or Sea Isle Boulevard to access Route 9. The detour route will be clearly marked with temporary roadway signage in advance of and along the detour.
Motorists are encouraged to plan alternate routes, allow additional travel time and follow all posted signage.
