    Town of Ocean City employees are working to assess damage from Hurricane Sandy and restore access to the city. The Route 50 bridge into downtown remains closed due to flooding. High winds also temporarily shut down the Route 90 bridge. Town employees are working with state agencies to evaluate damage and determine when it is safe to reopen downtown. Initial reports show severe damage to the Ocean City Fishing Pier and a fallen light pole. Since the storm, emergency personnel have responded to 231 calls and relocated 49 citizens. The town is working with partner agencies to complete damage assessments and reopen areas to residents and businesses.
