The entrance ramp to the southbound Garden State Parkway in East Orange will close overnight Sunday for paving

Apr 29 2022

The entrance ramp to the southbound Garden State Parkway at Interchange 145 in East Orange will be closed from 9 p.m. Sunday, May 1st, until 5 a.m. Monday, May 2nd, for paving.

Traffic trying to enter the Parkway at that location during the closure will be detoured north to exit 148, Bloomfield Avenue. Drivers should allow additional travel time on this night.

The ramp paving is being done in connection with a $77.3 million contract awarded to the George Harms Construction Co. in 2018 for the replacement of the Central Avenue Overpass and other improvements to the Parkway and connecting roads in the area. That contract is nearing completion. When the ramp reopens Monday morning, it will be in its permanent, two-lane configuration.

Drivers who are plan to travel in the area during the overnight closure and encouraged to check traffic conditions first by calling 511 from a hands-free device or downloading the SafeTripNJ app. Live traffic camera views are available under the Travel Tools tab on this website.
