Update on Feb. 6: Repairs have been completed and Church Street is now open.

A section of Church Street from Lloyd Road to Atlantic Avenue in Aberdeen remains closed this afternoon due to a break in a New Jersey Natural Gas Company main. 

The break is under a county owned bridge over Mohingson Brook in Aberdeen. Crews from J.F. Kiely Construction of Long Branch are making repairs that include replacement of 170 feet of a 6-inch gas main that runs under the pedestrian walkway portion of the tinder bridge. The pipe is old and had corroded in several places.

Detours are posted. The New Jersey Natural Gas Co. has reported it may take two days to complete the work.
