Route 52 Causeway Path Closures In Store: NJDOT

OCEAN CITY, NJ — Closures are in store for the Route 52 Causeway between Somers Point and Ocean City in April as power wash work is completed, according to the New Jersey Department of Transportation.

The shared-use sidewalk will be closed during the work, tentatively scheduled for April 2 through 19.

To safely access the sidewalk, the NJDOT’s maintenance crew will need to close the sidewalk and the right lane of vehicle traffic during three stages:

• Stage 1: April 2 to 5
• Stage 2: April 8 to 12
• Stage 3: April 15 to 19

On those days, the right lane of traffic will be closed only during construction hours (9 a.m. to 3 p.m.). The shared-use path will remain closed for the entire period of each stage. It will reopen on weekends.

The schedule may be adjusted if work is completed more quickly.

Signs have been installed at the bridge to alert drivers of the closures.
