THE TOWNSEND’S INLET BRIDGE remains closed, but temporary repairs may be completed in time for it to reopen for the Memorial Day Weekend and the summer season.  Permanent repairs will be made next winter.  Locals and visitors alike are hoping the bridge will be open, preventing the need to take “the long way around,” which can take a half hour or more in summer traffic.  The bridge has been closed since a routine inspection revealed a crack in the structure 20 feet beneath the water’s surface.

OTHER BRIDGES in Cape May County are undergoing fender replacement projects, providing protection to bridges from passing marine traffic.  Two bridges over the Cape May Canal, plus one over Grassy Sound and one over Beach Creek (both on North Wildwood Boulevard) will have their existing fender structures replaced, including timber piles. 

WINE TASTING, ANYONE?  Two upcoming events will delight wine tasters!  On Friday, May 12^th the Avalon Wine & Spirits Festival takes place at Community Hall.  For details and tickets, click here: http://visitavalonnj.com/node/1616
On Saturday, May 13^th the Klink! Wine Tasting Event will be held in Atlantic City at the Resorts Casino Hotel.  For details and tickets, click here:  https://resortsac.com/entertainment/wine-tasting-atlantic-city/

SPRING CLEAN UP TIME!  It’s time to clean up and clean out!  In Avalon, bulk trash items can be placed curbside Saturday, April 29^th through Monday, May 8^th.  In Stone Harbor, bulk trash items can be placed curbside up to 72 hours prior to the Monday, May 15^th pick up date.

ANOTHER OPTION for new or gently used furniture, applicances, and home accessories is Habitat for Humanity’s ReStore in Cape May Court House, where donations are warmly welcomed.
