Avalon Bridge Repairs Extended

By Herald Staff

AVALON MANOR –– Construction work on the Avalon Boulevard Bridge in Middle Township will continue until June 19, according to Cape May County Engineer Dale Foster.
Foster said the project is not behind schedule, but some additional deterioration has been found on the bridge, and more work has to be done. Plus, crews lost a day of work due to weather concerns early in the project.
Bridge decking work is done June 16 through June 19.
Crews will be closing one lane of traffic on the Avalon Boulevard Bridge from 10am until 8pm during each day of the reconstruction effort.
The work consists of removing deteriorated concrete, which is called a spall, and placing high early strength concrete patch material on the bridge.
Approximately 665 square feet of concrete deck is being repaired during the construction project. South State, Inc. of Bridgeton, NJ was awarded the $123,950 construction contract by the Cape May County Board of Chosen Freeholders on April 22, 2008.
The project was expected to take two weeks, and began on June 2. No work has been done on weekends to permit shore traffic to get to and from Avalon.
