More returning to N.J.'s barrier islands

Posted: Updated:

TOMS RIVER, N.J. (AP) -- More residents and property owners on New Jersey's barrier islands are being allowed to inspect their homes.

Police removed the barriers on Route 36 in Sea Bright Wednesday. That clears the way for residents and non-residents to travel along Ocean Avenue.

Buses will carry Ortley Beach residents back after they register beginning Wednesday.

Lavallette residents will be permitted to drive to their homes over the Route 37 Bridge.

Access to both locations is limited and residents must leave early in the afternoon.
