SAYREVILLE -- Expect traffic delays this weekend as three of the six lanes on a busy stretch of the Garden State Parkway will be closed for road work.

The southbound local lanes will be closed between the Raritan Toll Plaza and the Cheesequake Service Plaza, according to the New Jersey Turnpike Authority, which operates the Parkway.

The closure will run from 7 p.m. Friday until 7 a.m. Monday as crews repair the Parkway's bridge deck over Bordentown Avenue at milepost 124.3.

After passing through the toll plaza, motorists will have to stay to the left for the express lanes unless exiting at Main Street (exit 124) or onto Route 9 south (exit 123).

In addition, drivers will not be able to head onto the Parkway south from Route 440 in Woodbridge.

Instead, they'll be detoured onto Route 9 south and then to 35 south. The ramp to the southbound Parkway from Chevalier Avenue in Sayreville will also be closed.

The Turnpike Authority warns motorists to expect delays. All northbound lanes on the Parkway will be open.
