Residents are reminded that starting tomorrow, Monday, Sept. 16, 15th Street from Park Avenue to Bloomfield Street will be closed to vehicular through-traffic 24/7. This closure will last approximately three months to facilitate construction of the Rebuild by Design resist structure at 15th Street and Garden Street.
The resist structure is part of the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection's (NJDEP) Rebuild by Design - Hudson River project which will protect Hoboken from storm surge flooding.
Garden Street from 14th Street to 15th Street, as well as the alleyway between Garden Street and Bloomfield Street, will remain closed. Sidewalk access will be maintained on the south side of 15th Street and the west side of Garden Street.
Temporary curb use changes, such as new school pick-up and drop-off zones on Bloomfield Street and 14th Street and designated loading zones for deliveries will also be implemented.
Residents interested in learning how this project will impact their daily routines, like accessing their garage or understanding the timing of the construction, can get answers to these questions and more by checking out the City's detailed FAQ at https://www.hobokennj.gov/resources/rebuild-by-design-hudson-river-project-faq. A recording of a recent community meeting to discuss the construction and closures can be found at the bottom of that webpage.
