Queens Bridge Closed 'Indefinitely' In Bound Brook

BOUND BROOK, NJ ? The Queens Bridge between Bound Brook and South Bound Brook will be closed indefinitely, announced Somerset County Public Safety on Thursday.

While the alert mentioned the bridge, the issue is connected to a broken sewage pipe on the underpass off the roundabout that leads to the bridge, said Somerset County Spokesman Brad Fay.

New Jersey American Water and its contractor have been working around the clock to clean it up and repair the broken sewage pipe, said Fay.

This announcement follows an alert sent on Wednesday about the closure.

Currently, no cars can pass through the bridge but pedestrians are allowed through.

Somerset County is continuing to monitor the situation.
