Red Bank Bridge Work Nearly Complete, Officials Say

Replacement of the West Front Street bridge in Red Bank should be completed and the bridge reopened next month, according to a report in the Asbury Park Press.

Detours have been in place since January, but Monmouth County officials told the Asbury Park Press that the work is on schedule to be completed by mid-May.

Right now, motorists have been diverted along Rector Place, to Route 35, across Coopers Bridge and along Navesink River Road to Hubbard Avenue in Middletown to get through the area.

Originally, the bridge was scheduled to open May 17, a Sunday but Freeholder Thomas Arnone said the bridge is expected to be completed on May 18.
