Route 88 Bridge to Stay Open Tonight
Plan to close bridge in Point Pleasant cancelled due to high winds

The original plan was for the bridge to be closed tonight until 5 a.m. Friday so a contractor for the Army Corps of Engineers could do work.

However, "due to higher than normal winds they will not be working tonight and therefore the expected closure of the Rt 88 drawbridge will not be necessary tonight," according to a statement the DOT released Thursday night.
Work will be done sometime after New Year's Day.
