Federal shutdown delays push Cape May County bridge permitting and shift project timelines

The full story
County Engineer Mr. Church updated commissioners on multiple infrastructure schedules, flagging permit processing delays linked to a recent federal shutdown. He said surveys have been completed in some cases but that U.S. Coast Guard permit processing is delayed; for the 96th Street bascule replacement the issuance of a permit is now expected around Sept. 1, which in turn pushes projected construction start dates by approximately one year (estimated construction start September 2027).
