I-287 North Ramp To I-78 West To Close Monday Night

BEDMINSTER, NJ — The I-287 northbound ramp to I-78 westbound will be closed Monday night as resurfacing work on I-78 continues in Bedminster, New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) officials announced.

The ramp will be closed from 10 p.m. until 4 a.m. on Tuesday. A detour will be in place with detour signage.

Detour:

• Motorists on I-287 northbound will be directed past exit 21A to exit 22B
• Exit I-287 and proceed to Route 202/206 northbound
• Follow signs on Route 202/206 to the u-turn to Route 202/206 southbound
• Proceed to I-287 southbound and continue to exit 21B
• Take exit 21B to I-78 westbound

This work is part of a $24 million project to resurface I-78 from Perryville Road/CR 625 in Union to the intersection of I-287 in Bedminster.

Improvements include applying a one-inch High Performance Thin Overlay (HPTO) on the travel lanes and shoulders of this stretch of I-78, as well as upgrades to curbs, drainage, and deck repairs on eight bridges within the project limits.

The application of a HPTO will improve ride quality, skid resistance, and reduce noise, as well extend the lifetime of the pavement. The project is expected to be completed in the winter of this year.
