Broadway Bridge Closed for Construction on Sunday

The reconstruction of the Broadway Bridge (CR 551) connecting Gloucester City and Brooklawn is continuing to progress. 

Freeholder Ian Leonard, liaison to the Camden County Department of Public Works has been informed that utility work being performed by PSE&G will necessitate the closure of the bridge from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Sunday.

“Signs will be in place and a suggested detour routes will been posted,” Leonard said.  “Whenever you are driving through a road construction zone, please stay prepared for traffic pattern changes, and be observant of posted instructions or directions from police officers.”

Camden County’s $4,154,144.00 project included the demolition of the existing structure over Little Timber Creek and construction of a new bridge including new abutments, bridge span, decking and parapets.  The project also features new bridge approaches, new pedestrian sidewalks, new guide rails, traffic striping and roadway markings.

“Please be mindful of this bridge closure and allow yourself extra time to reach your destination if your commute includes this area,” Leonard said.
