Route 15 northbound overnight lane shifts begin Wednesday for priority repairs to I-80 Bridges over Route 15 in Wharton
Overnight work is expected to take approximately two weeks
(Trenton) – Route 15 northbound is scheduled to have overnight traffic shifts beginning on Wednesday for priority repairs to the I-80 Bridges over Route 15 in Wharton, Morris County
Beginning at 10 p.m. tomorrow, Wednesday, April 9 until 5 a.m. Thursday, April 10, and continuing Monday through Friday nights at the same time for approximately two weeks, Route 15 northbound traffic will be shifted before the I-80 Bridges over Route 15 to repair bridge joints and concrete spalling. All lanes will be maintained. Work may take place Saturday and Sunday nights, if necessary, due to weather and other factors. Route 15 southbound will not be affected. Motorists are advised to use caution and slow down through the work zone.
The I-80 Bridges over Route 15 are safe. The deterioration of the concrete cover on the bridge piers is the result of natural bridge aging and not related to ongoing I-80 sinkhole repairs.
NJDOT has created an I-80 project web page to keep the public informed about the progress of repairs. Information about detours, alternate routes, and other options to minimize traffic congestion in the area can also be found on the web page.
A new I-80 travel time page has been added to www.511NJ.org and has current travel times on the detour routes and alternate routes.
The precise timing of work is subject to change due to weather and other factors. Motorists are encouraged to check NJDOT’s traffic information websitewww.511nj.org for construction updates and real-time travel information.
