Lanes to close on northbound Garden State Parkway bridge over Avalon Boulevard in Middle Township for deck panel replacement

Apr 08 2022

The deck panels will be replaced on the bridge over Avalon Boulevard on the northbound Garden State Parkway in Middle Township, Cape May County, over the next two weeks.

The work will be done in two stages:

Week 1

The right lane will be closed from 8 p.m., Sunday, April 10th, to 3 a.m. Friday, April 15th, between mileposts 12.7 and 13.7. Traffic will get by only in the left lane.

Week 2

The left lane will be closed from 7 a.m. Tuesday, April 19th, to 8 p.m. Friday, April 22nd. Traffic will use the right lane from milepost 12.7 to 13.5 and then shift onto the right shoulder from milepost 13.5 to 13.8.

Each stage is expected to take four days to complete. The work would be postponed one week in the event of inclement weather.

The Turnpike Authority Commissioners awarded a $9.2 million contract in January to IEW Construction Group Inc. for repairs to miscellaneous structures on the Parkway between Cape May and Sayreville. The northbound bridge over Avalon Boulevard is one of 24 structures covered by that contract.

For real-time traffic conditions during construction, call 511 from a hands-free mobile device or download the SafeTripNJ app. Live traffic camera views of the roadway are also available under the Travel Tools tab on this website.
