JERSEY CITY — New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) officials announced that the Pulaski Skyway is scheduled to be closed in both directions this weekend to install deck panels, as the rehabilitation of the historic 83-year-old bridge advances.
Beginning at 7 a.m. Saturday, July 23, through 3 p.m. Sunday, July 24, NJDOT’s contractor, CCA Civil Inc.-Daidone Joint Venture, is scheduled to close the Pulaski Skyway southbound at the off ramp to I-280/Route 7, and Route 1&9 southbound to install deck panels and related concrete work. Next weekend, the Skyway is scheduled to be closed from 1 p.m. Saturday, July 30 through 6 a.m. Sunday, July 31.
The full closure includes most on and off ramps, including the southbound on-ramp from Tonnelle Circle. The ramp from Route 139 westbound to I-280/Route 7 and Route 1&9 Truck southbound will remain open. NJDOT has created a video that shows options for alternate routes to help motorists navigate closures, which can be found on the NJDOT YouTube channel.
