Wyckoff Avenue Closed This Week Due to Track Work

Township has warned commuters to expect delays

The township announced that on Monday, Oct. 22, the New Jersey Department of Transportation will begin construction that will force much of Wyckoff Avenue to close for the week. The DOT will refurbish the railroad crossing on Wyckoff Avenue near the intersection of Main Street and require that Wyckoff Avenue at the railroad crossing be closed 24 hours a day for 5 days.

No Relief This Week for Traffic Woes at Busy Intersection

PSE&G has for the third time this week revised its estimates for completion of underground repairs at Wyckoff and Franklin avenues. The utility company expects to move on by Friday evening, but won't rule out additional work on Monday.

Traffic Disruptions to Continue at Wyckoff and Franklin Avenues

Roadwork may extend into Thursday, an official said

Complications at Franklin and Wyckoff avenues caused the utility company to revise its work schedule. "I was told late today that due to the grouping of all sorts of utility pipes in that narrow stretch of road that it will probably take a full day tomorrow and possibly into Thursday," said Township Administrator Bob Shannon at a committee work session Tuesday. Shannon added that he would send an email blast to residents if the utility company notifies the township that work would definitely continue beyond Wednesday. PSE&G crews have …
