Get Skyway-closure info Tuesday at St. Peter’s Uni.

The state Department of Transportation (NJDOT) will host a Public Information Center (PIC) to promote travel alternatives available when the northbound lanes of the Pulaski Skyway are closed on April 12. NJDOT’s project team will be available to discuss the project and answer questions.

The PIC will take place noon to 8 p.m., Tuesday, March 25 at St. Peter’s University in Jersey City.

In February, NJDOT announced the Pulaski Skyway northbound will close on Saturday, April 12 for approximately two years. The existing deck of the 3.5-mile long structure that carries Route 1&9 traffic will be replaced during this phase of the rehabilitation project.   Southbound travel on the Skyway will be maintained during construction.  Route 139, which is just east of the Skyway, will maintain one lower level travel lane east toward New York and two travel lanes west toward Newark at all times (except nights and weekends) while the Pulaski Skyway northbound is closed.

NJDOT created a project-specific website, www.pulaskiskyway.com, which contains a wealth of information about the Skyway project, including construction updates and information specifically about the Hoboken and Conrail Viaduct rehabilitation in Contract 2.
