The West Front Street Bridge will be closed from 10 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 8 to 6 a.m. Friday, Aug. 9 for routine maintenance, the county announced Wednesday.

While the bridge connecting Middletown and Red Bank is closed, traffic between Rector Place and Hubbard Avenue will be detoured, according to a news release. Signs will be posted.

“County crews will be working through the night with the intention of reopening the busy thoroughfare by the morning rush hour,” Freeholder Director Thomas Arnone said. “The County understands the inconvenience that this closure will have on the motoring public in the area. Our first concern is for the safety of the traveling public and the county will work to get the road reopened as quickly as possible.”
