2 DWI Checkpoints Will Be In Old Bridge This Week

OLD BRIDGE, NJ — Old Bridge Police announced Wednesday they will hold two upcoming DWI sobriety checkpoints:

• August 27: From 8 p.m. to 1 a.m.
• Sept. 1: From 6 p.m. - 11 p.m.

Both checkpoints will be held on Rt. 35 north near the Old Bridge/Sayreville border. Police did not say exactly where.

The checkpoints will be staffed by Old Bridge Police officers.

"In compliance with New Jersey state law, an advance notice of the DWI checkpoints must be given to the public," said Old Bridge Police. "This advance notice hopefully discourages members of the public from drinking and driving."

The DWI checkpoints are funded by a Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over Labor Day grant, which collects money from fines and penalties assessed to drivers who are found guilty of driving while intoxicated.
