What happened to the old 9th street pier.... ?

NewJerseyXJ609

I don't believe there ever was one. This is the 9th street bridge going into ocean city. They have been building it for the past 4 years I'd say. People fished off the old bridge but off to the side on the Marsh and I believe it was illegal so now there is plenty of room. There is a pier at each end of the bridge its really nice!

The Rooster

ohh cool... i didn't know that...

OEJ

They finally finished that bridge???....lmao. I love Union life...lol.

I miss living in O.C.

Lol! Yeah they were slow and steady on that thing huh. They are completely done the bridge there aren't any more lanes closed or anything like that. But they are still working on the visitors center they built off to the side and from what I can see a couple odds and ends. But they did an awesome job with peir. If it weren't for the ocean city police hassling your every move it would actually be a nice place to hang out and fish.

Is it leagal to wheel in WSF? also will gps show the trails?

would be nice to know

OEJ, yes the old 9th street bridge is gone. They knocked it down as they built it.

The bridge is slightly over to the right of where It was on the Somers point side and now there is a place where the marina can launch their boats.

My only gripe with the bridge is its very steep. I wouldn't want to be driving on that thing when it's icy especially in a 2wd

OEJ

wow it has been a long time since i went to O.C. that way. I usually go the Marmora 34th st bridge.
I used to live on 3rd & asbury and 5th & atlantic across from the old tennis courts. which is now a school...lol.

yes there is a lot of places back there that you can go.. recently they have limited quite a few areas though. just look for the no motor vehicle signs and you'll be fine. and don't get caught making your own trails..lol


i believe that some areas will show up on a gps. not sure how much though.

You weren't far from where I am now. I'm at 14th and ocean. I lived here over 10yrs ago with my parents went to kindergarten - 2nd grade here then we moved to Northfield. And now I have my own place here I love it. Just gotta be careful with the salt air. Things rust FAST haha

The only thing I hate about ocean city is the police are very strict. I get pulled over often. I drink drink or drive like an ***. But I do have my windows tinted and my jeep just sticks out.
