The Middle Thorofare Bridge in Lower Township, NJ, reopened Wednesday, Aug. 21, after three days of repairs.
The Middle Thorofare Bridge in Lower Township, New Jersey , reopened to vehicular, pedestrian and bike traffic at 2 a.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 21. The bridge, which connects Lower Township’s Diamond Beach to Cape May, had been closed on Aug. 18 due to a total failure of the drive shaft motor that is used to open the bridge on demand, officials said.
“On behalf of the Cape May County Board of County Commissioners, I want to extend my heartfelt and sincere thanks to our County public works, bridge commission staff, and consultant electrical engineers for their efforts to source a new motor and for working long hours to repair the system that resulted in the reopening of the Middle Thorofare Bridge,” Commissioner Director/Liaison to the Bridge Commission, Leonard Desiderio said.
