DWI Checkpoint In Neptune Friday Night, Another In Wall

NEPTUNE CITY, NJ — The Monmouth County DWI Task Force will be conducting two checkpoints this weekend:

The first checkpoint will be in Neptune City, on Friday, Aug. 23. The checkpoint will begin at 10 p.m. and run until 2 a.m. on Saturday morning. All northbound vehicles on Rt. 35 will be diverted at the Steiner Avenue intersection where all drivers will be screened for their sobriety.

The second checkpoint will be in Wall Twp. on Saturday, Aug. 24. The checkpoint will begin at 10 p.m. - 2 a.m. Sunday morning. All westbound vehicles on Rt. 138 will be diverted onto Maxwell Road, where all drivers will be screened for their sobriety.

"As always, the Task Force hopes all drivers will be responsible and use either a designated driver or an alternative means of transportation (taxi or ride sharing option) if they plan on drinking this coming weekend," said Monmouth County DWI Task Force coordinator Chief Michael Schneider.
