The New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) reports that I-80 eastbound Local lanes are scheduled to be closed and detoured tonight in Parsippany-Troy Hills, Morris County. In addition, the right lane on I-80 eastbound Express is scheduled to be closed tonight.
Beginning at 10:00 p.m. tonight, Friday, August 23 until 6:00 a.m. Saturday, August 24, the I-80 eastbound Local lanes are scheduled to be closed with all traffic detoured using the Exit 47A ramp to I-280 eastbound. In addition, the right lane on I-80 eastbound Express is scheduled to be closed after Exit 47A. At least one Express lane will be maintained with the center and right lanes closed on the I-80 eastbound Bridge over Old Bloomfield Avenue/Edwards Road, from mile post 46.1 to mile post 46.5.
The I-80 Exit 47B to Route 46 eastbound will remain open, and the Route 46 eastbound exit to I80 eastbound will remain open. The closures are necessary for bridge deck repairs on the I-80 eastbound Bridge over Old Bloomfield Avenue/Edwards Road. Motorists are advised to slow down, use caution, and expect delays. The following detour will be in place:
