Full Notification

Fort Lee Road from Broad Avenue to Main Street will be paved tomorrow (Thursday OCT 16). The road will be closed starting at 7:00am and the paving is expected to take 8-10 hours.

Fort Lee Road will be closed to all traffic from Broad Avenue to Main Street during the paving.  Residents of Warwick Lane, Cumley Terrace, Oratam Terrace and Fort Lee Road will not have access to their homes for approximately 2 hours after Fort Lee Road has been paved to allow the roadway to cool and set.  Residents should plan ahead and park their vehicles on other adjacent side streets or the Elm Place Municipal Lot.

The traffic pattern at the Anna C Scott School will be impacted by the paving and will require the closure of Highland Street. A message with additional instructions will be sent out to the school community by the school’s administration.  

The detour for the Fort Lee Road closure uses Broad Avenue, Edsall Blvd, Bergen Blvd and Route 1&9. Glenwood Avenue will be closed at the intersection of Fort Lee Road so use Broad Avenue as an alternate route.

The Department of Public Works (DPW) will start sanitation collections at 6am on Thursday. Residents in the work zone on Fort Lee Road and the adjacent side streets must place their collections outside before 6am.  

Tomorrow is expected to be the last day of this project that involves closing the road. We appreciate your patience as this necessary road work is completed.
