Jerseybirders, with May migration in sight, I wanted to pass on that a
major section of Old Mine Road is closed through summer 2024 for
repaving. The section closed is from the Worthington Forest line to
Millbrook Village, that is, Miles 6-9. This includes Poxonoco Boat
launch, Turtle Cove, and the Watergate Wetlands area (which is already
closed for the final phase of its restoration).
This is a heavily birded route in spring, and could impact World Series
of Birding plans as well. However, the northern half of Old Mine Road-
which deserves more birding attention - is still open. For now. The
alert advises that a couple of additional portions will be worked on
from Miles 26.4<http://26.4> through 32.4<http://32.4> starting fall 2024 and going into 2025.

Anyone with additional information or updates or corrections is welcome
to post them here.
