The section of New Jersey’s Route 35 along the Jersey Shore that was damaged by Superstorm Sandy has been reopened, the Associated Press reported.

Route 35 is the second-busiest highway along the shore after the Garden State Parkway, with thousands of vehicles using daily during the summer months, the AP reported.

Superstorm Sandy cut a channel through Mantoloking, which sits on a barrier island between the ocean and Barnegat Bay, separating the community in two.

Emergency repairs filled in that gap and rebuilt a makeshift road along the route until the New Jersey Department of Transportation could rebuild the highway, AP said.
