Motorists heading to the Jersey shore could face a traffic bottleneck over the memorial Day holiday weekend on the highway damaged by Superstorm Sandy.
Route 35 south will be a single lane between Curtis Point Drive in Brick and Strickland Boulevard in Toms River instead of the normal two lanes.
Transportation Commissioner James Simpson earlier this week had announced all Route 35 travel lanes will be open for the summer.
However, DOT officials all the lanes can't be restored.
