Repaving of Observer Highway Scheduled to Begin Tuesday, December 8th

Hoboken, NJ - Thursday, December 3rd, 2015



Construction work to mill and pave Observer Highway will begin on or about Tuesday, December 8th, 2015. The roadway will be repaved from Hudson Street to the firehouse east of Madison Street. A portion of Henderson Street will also be repaved as part of the project. Milling is expected to take 3 to 5 days, followed by 3 to 5 days for paving, weather permitting. To expedite the project and minimize traffic disruptions, the City Council has authorized work to occur until 8:00pm as well as on Saturdays, if necessary.

All efforts will be taken to maintain traffic during construction and minimize the most disruptive work during peak commuting hours, however drivers are urged to consider alternate routes if possible since temporary closures will be required during paving operations. Officers from the Hudson County Sheriff’s Office, Hoboken Police Department, and New Jersey Transit Police will be on hand to direct traffic.

Vehicles parked on Vezzetti Way must be moved by Monday, December 7th at 8:00am so that construction can proceed. In the case that detours are needed to accommodate buses and other large vehicles, there will be no parking permitted starting on Tuesday, December 8th along the following streets:

South side of 1 st Street from Marshall Street to Hudson Street

Street from Marshall Street to Hudson Street South side of Newark Street from Washington Street to Willow Avenue

Both sides of Willow Avenue for a half block south of Newark Street

Funding for the Observer Highway project is provided through a $2 million Congressional earmark.
