The NJDOT notified TLS today that the rail repairs on Route 9 taking place this weekend will also affect pedestrian traffic (as reported on our news alerts).
Pedestrians will not be able to walk on the tracks to avoid the project, the DOT said.
The closure will begin at 5 PM this evening, November 6, and reopen at 7 AM Sunday morning.
Conrail is replacing the rail crossing at Route 9 between John Street and Central Avenue.
