Major bridge into Wildwood Crest, NJ closes indefinitely
🔴 Bridge closes for motor failure
🔴 There is no timeline for repairs, mayor says
🔴 County says best case scenario is it closes for several weeks
LOWER TOWNSHIP — A major bridge down the shore will likely remain closed for the rest of the summer, causing headaches for locals and shoobies alike.
The Middle Thorofare Bridge, or Two Mile Bridge, closed late Saturday morning for a motor failure.
It’s stuck in the open position and will remain closed to vehicles, bicycles, and foot traffic. Boats will be able to use the waterway, according to Cape May County officials.
Tests found that the motor didn’t work and could not be repaired.

The county is now looking both domestically and overseas for a replacement drive shaft motor that officials say is highly specialized.
No one can use the bridge connecting Wildwood Crest/Diamond Beach in Lower Township to Cape May until it’s repaired.
The “best-case scenario” is that it will take several weeks to get a replacement motor and make the repairs, according to the county.
Cape May County has spent at least $2.5 million since 2019 making repairs to the 85-year-old bridge. More repairs are planned for later this year, according to a report from the county Bridge Commission.

San Diego Wave FC Unveils “Balboa Park Kit”: New Community Jersey for 2026 Season – San Diego Wave Fútbol Club
Wave FC introduce all-new community kit inspired by San Diego’s Historic Balboa Park
Since 1868, Balboa Park has served as the city’s creative commons. Spanning 1,200 acres, the park is home to world-class museums, performing arts institutions, community gathering spaces, and everyday moments that define life in San Diego, from pickup soccer games to family picnics and cultural celebrations. Larger than New York’s Central Park and Chicago’s Millennium Park combined, Balboa Park represents the depth, diversity, and creative energy of the region.
Designed in collaboration with Nike, the bespoke kit draws the park’s historic architecture and vibrant tilework. The sleeve cuffs and collar feature the vibrant colors of pink, orange and blue, and patterns from Balboa Park’s tilework, translating architectural detail into wearable design.
Kaiser Permanente, who continues to serve as the official team physicians of Wave FC, is proudly featured on the front of the Balboa Park Kit for the fifth consecutive season. Additionally, San Diego based global leader in glucose management, Dexcom, the Club’s official glucose biosensing partner, is returning for the third year and will be featured on the right sleeve. The Club’s pride mark, a compass symbolizing direction, unity and purpose, is displayed on the lower left corner of the new jersey.
To celebrate the launch, San Diego Wave FC will host its 2026 Jersey Launch Event, presented by Jameson Irish Whiskey, tonight, February 26, at Plaza de Panama in Balboa Park, from 4-8 p.m. PT. The free, public event, will feature live entertainment, exclusive access to the Balboa Kit, giveaways, a Fifth Season museum experience, and community activations spotlighting leaders and organizations from across Balboa Park cultural community.
As part of the event, a portion of proceeds from the Balboa Park Kit will be donated to Forever Balboa Park, supporting the preservation, accessibility, and future of the park for generations to come. Fans can donate directly to Forever Balboa Park here. The San Diego Museum of Art will provide a complimentary gift to all Season Ticket Members at gift pickup for fans to use throughout the museum’s Centennial Celebration. Wave FC players will be in attendance throughout the evening, connecting the fans and celebrating the launch alongside the community.
Fans who purchase a Balboa Park Kit at the event or online on the day of launch will receive an exclusive Fifth Anniversary patch, commemorating the Club’s fifth season.
The Balboa Park Kit joins the Altamar Kit as part of San Diego’s full 2026 jersey collection and is now available here. Fans can select “pick up at event” for an expedited entry line at the Balboa Park event.
