Bridge At Millburn/Springfield Line Closed, Being Replaced

MILLBURN, NJ — The bridge on Short Hills Avenue at the Millburn/Springfield Township line is scheduled to be closed for construction beginning on July 16, the township of Millburn announced last week.

This project being done by Union County will completely replace the existing bridge with a new bridge.

The bridge will be closed to all traffic, including pedestrian foot traffic. Concrete barriers will be placed across the roadway at both ends of the structure to prevent errant vehicles from entering the work area.

A detour route will be signed for the duration of the road closure as Short Hills Avenue will not be accessible for thru traffic into Springfield.

"Please plan accordingly," the township noted in a release. Find out more here.
