Some officials have raised concerns regarding the safety and utility of the bridge. One of the main points of concern is the weight limit of 3 tons which restricts emergency vehicles from accessing the Southeastern section of the Borough of Manasquan. The monthly full moon high tide cycle often causes Main Street in Manasquan to close due to flooding which leaves emergency vehicles with only one access road to its beachfront, Ocean Road, as they exceed the weight capacity of the bridge.
