Overnight Route 4 Lane Closures Begin Monday

Crews this week are set to install a temporary Route 4 bridge structure over the Flat Rock Brook in nearby Englewood, leading to overnight lane closures, state transportation officials announced.

Closures are set to begin Monday night and last through Thursday in both directions, the DOT said. Creamer-Sanzari Inc. is set to remove the existing bridge and install a temporary crossing with steel plates.

The transportation agency urged motorists to use alternate routes or leave extra time when traveling on Route 4 through the Englewood area.

A full schedule of the closures, as released by the DOT, is below:

• Monday night: The eastbound right and center lanes will be closed from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. One eastbound lane will remain open.
• Tuesday night: The eastbound right and center lanes will be closed from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. One eastbound lane will remain open.
• Wednesday night: The eastbound left and center lanes will be closed from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. One eastbound lane will remain open.
• Thursday night: The eastbound left lane and the westbound left lane will be closed from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. Two eastbound lane will remain open and one westbound lane will remain open.

The $1.5 million project will replace the deteriorating structure with a pre-built, concrete bridge, according to the DOT. Officials plan to close Route 4 in each direction over two weekends in August as the project continues.
