The Chadwick Beach Island Bridge is an all-timber bridge that was constructed in the 1950s.  Due to its age, many of the load bearing piles and their cross bracing have severe timber rot and section loss.  The bridge’s width and sidewalk do not meet today’s design standards.

Ocean County in coordination with the North Jersey Transportation Planning Authority (NJTPA) and the New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) are currently in the Final Design Phase to replace the existing thirteen-span bridge with a three-span structure. Final Design is the third step of the Local Capital Project Delivery Process, and once complete, the project can begin construction.
