(Trenton) - New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) officials today announced the overnight closure of the Route 17 southbound ramp to Route 4 westbound for emergency parapet repairs in Paramus, Bergen County. This project was originally scheduled to begin this past Friday, but was postponed due to inclement weather.

After the barriers are in position the ramp will reopen to regular traffic for the duration of the repairs, which are expected to take place for several weeks. The following overnight detour will be in place.
