I would like to know why the bridge on Old AJ Highway, past Glenmore Mansion that goes over the railroad tracks, has been “under construction” for so long. This bridge’s being under construction has caused many detours if you need to go anywhere in Morristown, and increases driving time. With the bridge out, emergency crews cannot reach certain areas as quickly as they could if the bridge were open. The few minutes added to the time to trip could change whether a person in need is helped in time.
