BRANCHBURG, NJ — A bridge in Branchburg was damaged in Tuesday night's storm will be closed for several months - at a minimum, said Township officials.
Somerset County Bridge B0512, Woodfern Road over the South Branch of the Raritan River, received damage to its portal bracing and end post and must remain closed until the truss members are repaired, said the Township in an alert on Wednesday.
A detour and concrete barrier will be set in place once there is access to both sides.
