Midstreams Bridge Closing Fully On Friday: Brick Police

BRICK, NJ — Motorists who use the Midstreams Bridge to go north will have to take a detour on Friday, Brick Township police said Thursday.

The bridge is being shut down to traffic in both directions Friday, April 6, from 6 a.m. to about noon for the ongoing construction work, police said. The bridge has been open to northbound traffic only for the last month after a lengthy closure from November to early March to address serious structural issues.

The bridge is in the midst of a $4.6 million construction project to replace the old concrete-and-timber bridge with one of concrete and steel. It is anticipated to be finished by late February or early March 2019, officials have said.

The new bridge will be 111 feet long and 49 feet wide and include a 6-foot-wide sidewalk on the west side of the bridge.
