BERKELEY TOWNSHIP, NJ – Rising waters have forced road closures along Bayview Avenue as a coastal storm continues to flood parts of Berkeley Township.
Police reported flooding stretching from Butler Boulevard to Allen Road and again from Bowsprit Drive to the Ocean Gate border.
Drivers are being urged to avoid the affected areas until water levels recede and roadways can be safely reopened.
Officials said the storm continues to push water into low-lying neighborhoods, making travel hazardous and unpredictable.
Barricades have been placed along key sections of Bayview Avenue, and police are monitoring conditions as tides fluctuate.
Drivers urged to avoid flooded zones
The Berkeley Township Police Department warned residents not to attempt to drive through standing water, emphasizing that road conditions can deteriorate quickly.
Flooding in the area has been worsened by the afternoon tide cycle, which brought higher-than-normal water levels to coastal sections of the township.
Storm impacts expected to continue
Officials said crews will remain on standby as additional flooding may occur during the next high tide.
Residents are asked to use alternate routes and stay alert to further updates from township emergency management.
Bayview Avenue remains closed in both directions as flooding continues to rise.
