The contractor working on the Route 518 bridge is preparing a schedule for its resumption, now that the state Transportation Trust Fund has been restored.
Work on the Route 518 bridge between the township and Rocky Hill should resume near the end of November, a state Department of Transportation spokesman said Oct. 27.
The $2.75 million bridge replacement project was among those stalled on July 8 when Gov.

Christie signed the order on June 30, after the state Legislature failed to enact a gasoline tax to re-fund the TTF.
