• Lanes to Close For Three Months Along Lovelandtown Bridge Over Point Pleasant Canal (shorebeat.com) — Expect months of lane shifts on the Lovelandtown Bridge over the Point Pleasant Canal starting Sept. 15, with right lanes closing first, then left lanes through late December. One sidewalk will always remain open to keep beach and school routes accessible, but drivers should plan for delays and slower traffic while crews fix heat-related expansion issues on the 1971 span.
