Bridge Closures Week of Oct. 30, 2023 Split Between Clay & Bridge St.

Local Bridge Closures on the Bridge St. bridge and the Clay Street bridge are staggered the week of October 30 2023. The Bridge St. bridge will be closed for construction Monday October 30^th and Tuesday October 31^st from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.  The Clay Street Bridge will be closed on Wednesday, November 1, 2023 through Friday, November 3, 2023 also from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

During this period, the bridge will be inaccessible for public use. This closure is necessary to ensure the safety of both the public and the construction crew as they work on the bridge.

The reason for the closure is to carry out essential construction work on the bridge. While the specific details of the construction work are not available at this time, such projects typically involve maintenance, repair, or upgrades to improve the safety and longevity of the bridge.

To navigate around the closure, the public is advised to follow the designated detour signs. There are two possible routes.  One is using the Route 280 Westbound ramp located at the intersection of North 2^nd Street and Cleveland Avenue and then keeping to your right to take the first exit after the Stickle Bridge to McCarter Highway East or Westbound.  In the alternative, you can take Passaic Avenue down to the Bridge Street Bridge located at the intersection of Passaic Avenue and Harrison Avenue, Harrison NJ. and Vice Versa depending on

The closure may cause some inconvenience (is an understatement), but to repair the bridge these measures are necessary to ensure the safety of the public and the construction crew, and to maintain the quality and longevity of these two bridges.
