Roads To Close In Hoboken And Jersey City, Snarling Traffic

HUDSON COUNTY, NJ — Street work near the Hoboken/Jersey City border is expected to cause traffic tie-ups starting this week, officials said.

The state Department of Environmental Protection and local governments have extended the Jersey City paving project from 14th Street in Jersey City to Harrison Street in Hoboken, near the border.

As a result, the planned full closure of Grove Street in that area will be postponed until early November, the city of Hoboken said.

Overnight work to improve Jersey Avenue between 14th Street in Jersey City and Harrison Street in Hoboken, will begin Tuesday, the city said.

The project will include utility connections, milling and paving, and new striping.

Work will take place from approximately 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. each night. During construction, one Hoboken-bound lane will remain open.

The project is expected to be completed by Oct. 30.

In November, Grove Street, between 18th Street in Jersey City and Observer Highway in Hoboken, will close northbound all day. Southbound traffic out of Hoboken will remain open. The changes are part of the Rebuild by Design flood resiliency project.

Police officers will be on hand to help.
