Jersey Shore bridge will be stuck open for ‘many weeks’ as workers scramble to find parts

• Updated: Aug. 19, 2024, 9:49 p.m.
• | Published: Aug. 19, 2024, 8:59 a.m.

The bridge between Wildwood Crest and Lower Township in Cape May County that was abruptly closed over the weekend will be shut down for “many weeks,” county officials said.

A motor failure forced officials to close the Middle Thorofare Bridge, which is also called the Two Mile Bridge, to all car, bike and pedestrian traffic early Sunday morning, Wildwood Crest Mayor Don Cabrera said over the weekend.

“The bridge has a total failure of the drive shaft motor used to open the bridge on demand, which failed at 10 a.m. on Saturday,” Cape May County officials said in a statement.

“The bridge electrical engineers performed many tests, concluding that the motor was inoperable and irreparable,” county officials said. “The Bridge Commission is currently reviewing all options available both nationally and globally to source this highly specialized motor with the goal of replacement as soon as possible, with the best-case scenario is it taking many weeks.”

The bridge is now stuck in the upright position, which allows for commercial vessels to sail through, but makes the bridge impassible to cars, Cabrera said previously.

The state Department of Transportation referred a request for comment to the Cape May County Bridge Commission, which owns and operates the bridge.
