LOGAN TWP. – A traffic detour has been set up on Route 130, just below Center Square Road in Logan Township because work has begun to rehabilitate the bridge over Oldmans Creek. This section of road connects Logan Township in Gloucester County to Oldmans Township in Salem County.
The $3.38 million state-funded project will remove counterweights and wire ropes to convert the bridge from a moveable bridge to a fixed span and is expected to be completed by spring 2016. Pedestrian access across the bridge will be temporarily unavailable during construction.
