(Trenton) - New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) officials today announced two consecutive I-280 westbound ramp closures overnight at New Road and I-80 westbound local for a resurfacing project in Morris County.
Beginning at 10 p.m. tonight Monday, October 31, and continuing until 1 a.m. Tuesday, November 1, NJDOT’s contractor, Intercounty Paving Associates, is scheduled to temporarily close the ramp from New Road to I-280 westbound in Parsippany for milling, paving and striping work. Resurfacing on the ramp is expect to be completed overnight.
Immediately after the resurfacing work is completed, the New Road ramp will reopen, and from 1 a.m. to 5 a.m. on Tuesday, November 1, resurfacing work will begin on the exit ramp from I-280 westbound to
I-80 westbound local in Parsippany-Troy Hills.
Only one ramp will be closed at a time during construction. The I-280 westbound Resurfacing Project which began in late October is expected to continue until late fall 2016.
The following signed ramp detour is expected to be in place from 10 p.m. until 1 a.m. the next morning, starting Monday, October 31, and continuing until Tuesday, November 1.
New Road ramp to I-280/I-80 westbound detour:
- Motorists from New Road in West Hanover wishing to gain access to I-280/I-80 westbound will be directed to Route 46 west
