The New Jersey Department of Transportation announced on April 10 that the I-95 southbound Exit 68 ramp to Route 46 eastbound will be closed tomorrow night in Ridgefield Park, Bergen County. The closure is scheduled from 11 p.m. Friday, April 10 until 6 a.m. Saturday, April 11, and is necessary for concrete deck repairs on the I-95 ramp over Route 46.
This work continues previous repair efforts that took place on March 27 and April 3 as part of a $12.2 million state-funded maintenance contract aimed at repairing concrete structures at various locations throughout Bergen, Essex, Hudson, Morris, Passaic, Sussex, Union and Warren counties.
During the closure period, motorists traveling southbound on I-95 who wish to take Exit 68 to Route 46 eastbound or Ridgefield will be directed onto the ramp for Route 46 westbound toward Ridgefield Park. Drivers should continue straight onto Route 46 westbound and proceed through the Ridgefield Avenue intersection before turning right onto Main Street just past the Lukoil Gas Station. After passing Brewster Avenue and following signs for the Truck Route by turning left onto Main Street Bypass under Route 46, drivers should turn left again following signs for Route 46 East/New York/NJ Turnpike/Hamilton Inn before making a final right turn onto Route 46 eastbound.
The department noted that exact timing may change due to weather or other factors affecting construction schedules. Motorists are encouraged to check NJDOT’s traffic information website at www.511nj.org for real-time travel updates and follow NJDOT’s social media channels for further news.
This closure is part of ongoing efforts by state authorities to maintain safe transportation infrastructure across multiple counties.
