SOMERSET/MIDDLESEX COUNTIES, NJ — Daytime ramp work will begin next week on I-287 north beginning in Middlesex County and ending in Somerset County, New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) announced.

Work will begin on Monday at 7 a.m. through 3:30 p.m. and continue Monday through Friday for several weeks. NJDOT's contractor, Della Pello Paving will work on various ramps to and from I-287 northbound for inlet replacement and curb repairs.

The work is part of the NJDOT's $13.4 millionMaintenance Roadway Repair project, which will resurface about seven miles of the highway including travel lanes, shoulders, and ramps.

I-287 southbound will be completed under a separate project that is scheduled to begin in 2021.
