Sections of Route 10 to close for months

Excerpt:

Long-term construction and detours will begin on Route 10 Saturday night as the state Department of Transportation begins a project to replace the highway’s bridge over the Passaic River, connecting East Hanover with Livingston.

The project will affect bus routes as well, according to NJ Transit. Bus Routes No. 73 (Newark-Orange-Livingston Mall) and No. 872 (Morristown-Route 10-Livingston) will travel through detours, and riders will need to allow for extra travel time. Several bus stops will be closed.

Route 80 Closure Heads Up

 

Traffic: Rt. 202 NORTHBOUND TO RT. 80 EASTBOUND RAMP CLOSURE DATE HAS BEEN PUSHED BACK TO May 16, 2014 as per NJ DOT. NJ DOT will be updating us as their work progresses. The entrance ramp from Rt. 202 Northbound (Littleton Rd.) on to Rt. 80 Eastbound will be closed while a new onramp is constructed. This closure is expected to last 6-12 weeks (weather permitting). There will be no direct access from Rt. 202 North to Rt. 80 East while the construction is underway. The ramp to be closed is located at the intersection of Frontage Rd. and Marmora Rd. Frontage Rd. will remain open to local traffic. Very heavy delays are expected on Rt. 202 between Rt. 10, Parsippany Blvd. and Cherry Hill Rd. between Rt. 46 and Rt. 202. The best route to access Rt. 80 in either direction would be from Rt. 287. Individuals commuting to and from the Mack-Cali Campus located near Rt. 202 (Sylvan Way, Campus Dr., Century Dr., Hilton Ct., Dryden Way and Entin Rd.) should travel on Dryden Way to Rt. 10 East to Rt. 287 North to access Rt. 80 in either direction and avoid very heavy delays expected on Rt. 202 and commercial areas in that vicinity. Local residents may travel on Rt. 287 North from the Parsippany Rd. entrance ramp to access Rt. 80 in either direction. Very heavy traffic congestion is expected in the area. Please, begin to use alternate routes of travel to access Rt. 80 at this time avoiding Rt. 202 in order to get comfortable with your new commute before the ramp is closed. Thank you for your patience and cooperation while the construction is underway.
