Kelley Memorial Bridge) over Sinepuxent Bay in Ocean City, Worcester County beginning the week of September 18, 2023 The work is expected to continue intermittently until Spring 2025, weather permitting. 

Work will include repair of the structural steel beams and replacement of connection plates where needed. Later work will include rehabilitation of the concrete sidewalks on the bridge and replacement of hatches that allow workers to access the underside of the bridge. Contractor Covington Machine and Welding will perform the work. 

Traffic will be maintained in both directions throughout the work period, with some occasional off-peak single lane closures. All lane closures will be announced and coordinated with the Town of Ocean City to assure travel to and from the resort is not interrupted.
