Emergency repair work required on bridge pier •^hc Route 1 northbound bridge in North Brunswick was finally re- Topene d Jan. 21 after almost two days of emergency repairs. N.J. Department of Transportation (NJDOT) acting Commissioner James S. Simpson said that the bridge over an aban- doned Conrail line on the opposite side of College Farm Road was reopened at 2:30 p.m. last Thursday after NJDOT had to ex- pedite permanent repairs to a bridge pier to minimize impact to motorists. The bridge had been closed to traffic as a safety precaution on Jan. 19. "NJDOT staff and contractors worked around the clock to return this vital bridge to service," Simpson said. "We know it was a terrible inconvenience for motorists, and we apologize for that, but safety is always our foremost concern." The noithbound span carries about 4,500 vehicles per hour during peak periods. The bridge pier was reinforced with stabilizing supports that will remain in place until the bridge and its twin that carries southbound traffic are replaced later this year.
