📰 News we're reading

• Decision Made: Oceanic Bridge Will Have 65-Foot Clearance (tworivertimes.com) — Plans for the new Oceanic Bridge will reshape driving and walking routes for Middletown’s Navesink-area residents, including a new roundabout at Locust Point and Navesink River Roads. The fixed-span bridge will stand 65 feet high, add a wide shared-use path, and shift the Middletown-side entrance north, creating new waterfront access while aiming to cut crashes and improve safety.
