Glimmer Glass Bridge Closures Planned This Week
The bridge will be closed periodically due to testing and engineering evaluations, officials said.
MANASQUAN, NJ – The Glimmer Glass Bridge is scheduled to be closed intermittently this week, county officials said.
From Monday, Feb. 7 through Thursday, Feb. 10, testing and engineering evaluation of existing bridge components will be performed, resulting in the closures, Monmouth County officials said in a statement.
“The Glimmer Glass Bridge will only be closed for five to ten minutes at a time for analysis and testing, so there will be no detours posted,” said Commissioner Director Thomas A. Arnone, the county’s liaison to the Department of Public Works and Engineering. “We apologize for any inconvenience these closures cause to those traveling in the area. Our crews will work as quickly as possible to minimize disruptions to traffic.”
The bridge will close for five to ten minutes at a time to vehicle and pedestrian traffic. Marine traffic operations will continue as normal. Bridge operators will remain on call around the clock.
