The New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) is alerting motorists that the I-80 westbound Exit 30 ramp to Howard Boulevard is scheduled to be closed for approximately two weeks beginning Friday night, October 31, as the Bridges over Howard Boulevard replacement project advances in Mount Arlington, Morris County.
Beginning at 8:00 p.m. Friday, October 31, until 8:00 p.m. Friday, November 14, the I-80 westbound Exit 30 ramp to Howard Boulevard will be closed and detoured. The ramp closure is necessary to reconstruct the ramp and improve drainage. The following detour will
be in place for approximately two weeks:

About This Project
The $65.4 million federally funded project will replace the existing bridges carrying I-80 eastbound and I-80 westbound over Howard Boulevard/CR 516, which are in poor condition. Improvements will include raising the vertical clearance of each bridge, widening the
shoulders, lengthening acceleration and deceleration lanes on I-80, and widening the ramps to and from Howard Boulevard. The Howard Boulevard intersection will be reconfigured to improve operational performance.
The project is expected to be completed in summer 2027.
