The NJDOT says Route 15 is scheduled to have lane and ramp closures on tonight for bridge deck repairs in Wharton.
In addition, the I-80 eastbound detour at Exit 34 will be modified tonight while the bridge deck repairs are being made. The Route 15 bridge deck work is routine maintenance and unrelated to the I-80 eastbound closure.
I-80 eastbound Exit 34 Detour – Friday night only:
• Motorists on I-80 eastbound will be directed to take Exit 34 to Route 15/Wharton/Dover/Sparta
• Turn left following signs for Wharton
• Turn left onto East Dewey Avenue/CR 642 eastbound
• Turn left onto Route 15 northbound
• Stay right to take the ramp to I-80 eastbound
There is also a plan to alleviate some traffic while I-80 eastbound repairs continue.
The Roxbury mayor says the town and surrounding municipalities have been asking for a cross over lane on I-80.
