To Jess Hudson, an Ocean City native and year-round resident of the barrier island resort community, the added traffic has been one of the most noticeable differences between this winter and off-seasons in the past.
“You used to come into Ocean City at 5 in the afternoon and there was nobody here,” said Hudson, 32, who often leaves the Cape May County island for his job working on gas lines for a company based farther up the shore. “Now, there’s like a line of cars at the 9th Street Bridge.”
