Sea Isle Boulevard

The Cape  May  County  Board  of  Chosen  Freeholders,  at  their  May  13,  2014  meeting,  awarded  a $12.7  million  contract  to  South  State,  Inc.  for  the  Sea  Isle  Boulevard  Improvement  project  that  will raise the roadway by approximately 4.5-feet and otherwise reconstruct Sea Isle Boulevard.   Traffic has been diverted to the south side of the boulevard; and the contractor  has placed fill on the north  side  of  the  causeway  to  an  average  height  of  about  6.5-feet,  which  is  2  feet  higher  than  the eventual height of the completed roadway.  The additional 2 feet, which will be removed prior to the next construction phase, is surcharge to compress the underlying layers of soil.  The goal is to obtain as  much  settlement  as  possible  prior  to  paving  on  top  of  the  new  fill.  The  current  plan  is  to  start paving of the north side this coming fall.

The entrance  to  the  northbound  parkway  has  been  reconfigured  in  order  to  provide  room  for eastbound  vehicles  to  travel  around  vehicles  making  a  left  turn  onto  the  parkway  entrance.     Motorists  are  advised  to  be  aware  of  the  revised  traffic  patterns  in  the  construction  zone  and  the reduced speed limit.

On September  13,  at  the  City  Council  meeting,  County  Engineer  Dale  Foster  led  a  presentation updating  council  and  the  public  about  the  project  and  upcoming  schedule  of  activities.    The  Power Point presentation that was shown at the council meeting is available to view by clicking  the link on the home page of the City’s municipal website, www.seaislecitynj.us (under the “City News” tab).
