Heads-up if you travel between Middle and Lower Townships Bayshore Road is going to be closed for the next two to three weeks. The Middle Township Police Department says on Tuesday, the Cape May County Public Works Department discovered a sinkhole forming in the northbound shoulder of Bayshore Road at Fishing Creek. The county engineer determined that the subbase under a significant portion of the road had scoured out, leaving the asphalt surface unsupported. As a result, Bayshore Road was immediately closed. The following detours are in place: Northbound Bayshore Road thru traffic wishing to access Del Haven and/or Route 47 will be detoured east onto Fulling Mill Road (C.R. 654) to Route 47. Traffic will then proceed north on Route 47 where motorists can access Bayshore Road and proceed up to Rutledge Avenue of the Del Haven Section of Middle Township or simply continue on Route 47 heading north.
