Manahawkin MVC To Close 2 Weeks After Positive Coronavirus Test

MANAHAWKIN, NJ — The Motor Vehicle Commission facility in Manahawkin closed after an employee tested positive for the coronavirus, the MVC announced Tuesday. The vehicle center will reopen Nov. 2.

The employee last worked there Saturday, according to an MVC spokesperson.

The MVC has closed several facilities in recent weeks after employees tested positive for COVID-19. As many as seven MVC Centers were closed last week due to the coronavirus.

The Runnemede Vehicle Center, Delanco Licensing Center and Eatontown Regional/Licensing Center also remain closed after an employee at each tested positive for the virus.

Customers can locate alternative Centers to visit by using the MVC’s Facilities Location page.

The MVC, including the Manahawkin location, has also seen long lines and wait times since reopening last July. The line in Manahawkin formed before 5 a.m. Monday, and the facility doesn't open until 8 a.m. Read more: Long Line Forms Before 5 A.M. At Manahawkin MVC
