Rt. 202 between Rt. 287 N and Changebridge Road will be closed. Click for info

From 9:30 am- 3:00 pm Rt. 202 will be closed from Changebridge Road to Rt. 287 North on ramp.
Traffic exiting Rt. 287 north OR south will be rerouted south towards River Road. Local traffic for 350 Rt. 202 or 381 Rt. 202 can be accessed without using the detour. Please STOP and ask the officer, don’t just drive right by him.
Drivers from Towaco heading south towards Rt. 287 will not be permitted to drive beyond Changebridge Road. Drivers will be forced to make a left onto Changebridge Road and use River Road, or Church Lane. Officers will be at most commonly used intersections to ensure traffic compliance and give guidance.
Drivers heading north on Changebridge Road (from Pine Brook to Rt. 202) will be forced to make a right onto Rt. 202 from Changebridge Road. If you are trying to get to Rt. 287 your best route is River Road.
From 3:00 pm to 6:30 pm, ONE lane (each direction) will be open on Rt. 202. There will be delays (at times significant) so avoid the area if POSSIBLE. Traffic will flow in both directions in front of EXXON during these times. There will be alternate traffic patterns and lane closures, but traffic will be flowing.
6:30pm-10:00 pm, Rt. 202 will be closed down again. The same traffic pattern will be in place as the 9:30-3:00 closure.
This will be a fluid situation for all of us. We will try our best to accommodate the vendors and travelers on this day. Be patient, prepare to find an alternate route and follow the Officer’s instructions.
