View Comments
The Monmouth County Commissioners approved a $107.5 million contract to build the long-awaited replacement of the Rumson-Sea Bright Bridge.
Richard E. Pierson Construction Co. Inc. of Pilesgrove in Salem County won the contract after submitting the lowest responsible bid of the 10 companies seeking the project.
Virtually all of the costs associated with replacing the bridge, which crosses the Shrewsbury River, came from federal transportation funds, Monmouth County Commissioner Director Tom Arnone said. The county s share of the project is $47,400.
That s compared with the replacement s overall costs of $131 million, which includes federal grants Monmouth County previously received for permitting and design of the bridge.
