Rt. 1 Lane Closures In Woodbridge Wednesday, April 11

WOODBRIDGE, NJ — Starting tonight, Wednesday, April 11, there will be several lanes closed overnight on Rt. 1 through Woodbridge Township, the state Department of Transportation announced.

Beginning at 9 p.m. tonight, Wednesday, April 11 until 6 a.m. tomorrow morning, the New Jersey Turnpike Authority is scheduled to close the right lane on Rt. 1 southbound and the left lane on Rt. 1 northbound in the area of the Garden State Parkway bridges that span Rt. 1 in Woodbridge. From 11 p.m. until 6 a.m. tomorrow morning, the left and center lanes on Rt. 1 northbound will be closed. At least one lane will be maintained in each direction.

This is to accommodate ongoing construction on the Parkway bridges.

The same lane closure schedule is expected to continue Thursday and Friday nights into Saturday morning for bridge deck replacement work being performed on the underside of the bridge. The work is expected to continue the following week with the same schedule or until completed.

The contractor doing the work is Northeast Remsco Construction, LLC.

The bridge work is part of an ongoing NJTA $42.7 million deck replacement contract of six non-major Parkway bridges between Old Bridge and Woodbridge, which began in 2015. Additional lane closures during off-peak hours may be necessary until project completion. NJTA has designed the project to advance with temporary lane closures, reopening after each shift. All lanes will be maintained during the morning and evening commutes. For more information on the project, contact the NJ Turnpike Authority.
