To the Editor:

I am baffled by the misinformation that our elected officials are propagating about the bridge and road repairs onto Long Beach Island. They are lambasting state officials about the delays and schedule of the Route 72 bridge and flood alleviation project at the gateway to Ship Bottom. I wish they would stop pointing fingers and actually cooperate to resolve this difficult situation.

Yes, the project has gone on for far too long. But the reasons for this delay are numerous and logical.
