Upper Township Gazette
BEESLEYS POINT – The Beesleys Point Bridge is slated for demolition this summer, but pilings from the span will be used to build a walkway for anglers that have fished the area around Drag Island for years.

State Sen. Jeff Van Drew said this week that the state plans to set aside usable pilings from the bridge after it is demolished. After construction of a new southbound Garden State Parkway bridge is complete, the pilings will be used to build a walkway from the Somers Point side of the Great Egg Harbor Bay to Drag Island. A short pier from Drag Island into the Great Egg Harbor Bay could also be included.
