Advisory

Flooding remains a major issue. Avoid unnecessary travel. Multiple roads remain closed with limited access to and from the island.

FLOODING & ROAD CLOSURE UPDATE

Flooding continues to be a major issue throughout the area.

Park Boulevard remains closed, as well as New Jersey Avenue south of Fern Road. Northbound Pacific Avenue is closed at Stockton Road due to flooding.

As a reminder, a State of Emergency remains in effect for Cape May County due to the ongoing storm and hazardous conditions.

Please avoid unnecessary travel, as traffic congestion is becoming an issue due to the limited access to and from the island. At this time, the Middle Thorofare Bridge remains the only point of access to and from the island.

The next high tide at Sunset Lake is expected at approximately 8:50 PM tonight. If you are in a flood-prone or low-lying area, please move vehicles to higher ground and make preparations ahead of the next high-tide cycle, as additional flooding is possible.

Please do not attempt to drive through flooded roadways.
