long beach island: Beat the Heat at the Jersey Shore! - 06/09/11 07:36 AM
Jersey Shore temperatures are expected to be close to 98° again today. That's hot for this time of year! The Jersey Shore has some of the best beaches on the east coast, and temperatures will be a little cooler here. On top of cooler temperatures, Jersey Shore beaches generate $35 billion every year in tourism dollars for the state. To protect this resource, the state takes water quality very seriously. New Jersey's Sanitary Code requires beaches to be closed when bacteria exceeds a certain level. The beach will remain closed until a sample within the standard is obtained.

long beach island: Long Beach Island, NJ...A Troubled Bridge Over Water - 06/19/09 07:47 AM
How do you spell bad timing? Ask the New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT). It's planning to start work on the Route 72 Causeway in July! That's the only access from the mainland to Long Beach Island, unless you come by boat.
DOT officials had said in March construction would not take place during the summer months due to the tourism season. But the project was expedited to start July 20 (though the newly erected signs say the work will begin on July 17th). That's because the project was funding received through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act and must be spent quickly … (6 comments)
