Skyline Drive NJ: Road Improvement Project Ahead

Residents and visitors traveling along Skyline Drive in New Jersey should be aware that a road improvement project is scheduled to commence on Friday at 6:30 p.m. and will run until Saturday, June 19th, at 12:00 p.m. The project aims to install 'Friction Grip' on the Skyline Drive, which is expected to have a significant impact on traffic during the process.

To minimize disruptions, officials urge travelers to plan alternate routes of travel and expect possible delays due to the work zone in surrounding neighborhoods. Officers will be on scene to enforce traffic restrictions, ensuring that no vehicles can traverse through the work zone to allow for proper curing of applied materials on the road surface.

The project requires a total close of Skyline Drive for all vehicular traffic, with specific closures at the I-287 Entry/Exit ramps on the Oakland side and Conklintown Road on the Ringwood side. Travelers are advised to call (973) 962-1212 for information on any road closures before planning their trip.
