Route 35 Northbound To Close In Point Pleasant Beach

POINT PLEASANT BEACH – Route 35 northbound will be closed and detoured in Point Pleasant Beach on Monday, and the highway's southbound traffic will be shifted onto the northbound lane.

Beginning at 7 a.m. on Monday, New Jersey Natural Gas contractor J.F. Kiely Construction Co. will close and detour Route 35 northbound just east of East Street in Point Pleasant Beach, the state Department of Transportation said.
