Prepare to stop, be rerouted, and wait. Traffic changes are coming next week to the entrance of Long Beach Island as Ship Bottom begins infrastructure work on Ninth Street between the Causeway and Barnegat Avenue.  

Beginning 8 p.m. Oct. 4, Ninth Street will be closed for night work to replace the borough’s sewer system ahead of a state Department of Transportation contractor beginning the last phase of the $312 million federally funded Causeway rehab and expansion project.
