Pulaski Skyway
South Kearny
ramp overnight closure
this week
Installation of temporary shielding
will require temporary detour
(Trenton) – The
New Jersey Department of Transportation
(NJDOT) today announced that the
South Kearny ramp to the Pulaski
Skyway will be closed in both directions
overnight this week.
The work to install temporary shielding
is part of the $126 million Pulaski
Contract 3, which will replace
the existing bridge deck in the
northbound direction.
NJDOT's contractor, CCA Civil,
Inc., is scheduled to close the
South Kearny ramp overnight from
9 p.m. through 6 a.m. the following
morning beginning tonight, Monday,
March 10 through Thursday night,
March 13. Friday, March 14 the ramp
will be closed from 11 p.m. until
9 a.m. Saturday, March 15.
A temporary detour will
be in place:
- Motorists heading northbound
on the South Kearny ramp
will be directed to 2 nd Street,
Central Avenue, and Route 1&9T
northbound.
- Motorists heading
southbound on the South Kearny
Ramp will be directed to
Raymond Boulevard to
Route 1&9T northbound to Central
Avenue to 2nd Street.
- Traffic on the Pulaski
Skyway will not be affected.
In February 2014, NJDOT
announced the northbound lanes
of the Pulaski Skyway would
be closed on April 12, 2014
for approximately two years
while the existing deck of
the 3.5-mile long structure that
carries Route 1&9 traffic
is replaced. Two southbound travel
lanes will be maintained during
this phase of the rehabilitation
project.
NJDOT created a project-specific
website - www.pulaskiskyway.com -
which contains a wealth of information
about the Skyway and the project,
and will be updated with relevant
new information as work progresses.
The Department is carefully coordinating
the Pulaski Skyway project with
other regional transportation
infrastructure projects to minimize
traffic congestion.
The precise timing of the work
is subject to change due to weather or
other factors. Motorists are
encouraged to check www.511nj.org for
real-time travel information.
