Oceanic Bridge Maintenance Work Scheduled

The Oceanic Bridge will undergo routine maintenance repairs to its center bascule span on Wednesday and Thursday between 9:30 a.m. and 3 p.m.

To perform these repairs, the Monmouth County Division of Bridges will intermittently open the bridge’s bascule section for up to ten minutes at a time.

Motorists should expect travel delays while this work is conducted. Vehicle and pedestrian traffic will not be able to cross the bridge for up to ten minutes at a time.  

"This work must be done to prepare the Ocean Bridge for the return to its regular operating schedule on April 1," Freeholder Thomas A. Arnone said in a press release. "We appreciate the patience of the traveling public while we work to perform this regular maintenance. Monmouth County prides itself on safety, especially with its movable bridges."

Motor vehicle traffic on Bingham Avenue between Rumson and Middletown can either travel west through Fair Haven and Red Bank to Middletown or travel east through Sea Bright and Highlands to Middletown.
