Water Main Break Closes Road Near Hoboken/Jersey City Border

HUDSON COUNTY, NJ — Work crews were responding on Friday morning to a 20-inch water main break in Jersey City, near the Hoboken border, officials said.

Officials closed Jersey Avenue in both directions between 18th Street in Jersey City and Jackson Street in Hoboken, they announced around 7 a.m.

Marin Boulevard and Grove Street remain open southbound, out of Hoboken, officials said. However, northbound Grove Street is closed into Hoboken for the ongoing New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection - Rebuild by Design anti-flooding project.

Veolia Water said, "Customers may experience low water pressure while work is underway. We will continue to provide updates on service restoration."

The city advised residents to leave extra time to get around southwest Hoboken on Friday, or use northern exits and entrances.
