A major milling and paving project will take place this Thursday and Friday on the Newark/Jersey City Turnpike (CR 508/Harrison Avenue), following the recent water main break that forced the roadway to close for two days.
According to officials, Conquest Construction will repair the damaged section of the roadway in front of the U.S. Postal Service facility, where the break occurred.
Crews will work during daytime hours, with lane closures beginning at 9 a.m. and reopening by 4 p.m. each day.
One lane of traffic will remain open in each direction while the work is underway, but drivers should expect delays and plan alternate routes when possible.
The repairs aim to restore the roadway to full service after the emergency disruption earlier this week.
