Hoboken Road Closed, NJ Transit Buses Detoured Starting Monday: What To Know

HOBOKEN, NJ — As workers continue to add storm surge barriers to northern Hoboken, part of 14th Street will be closed temporarily starting Monday, with buses diverted.

The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection will conduct test pitting operations starting on Monday to prepare for the work, the city said.

The work will continue until around April 10, NJ Transit said.

Fourteenth Street will be closed to vehicular traffic between Washington and Bloomfield Streets from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday. The roadway will reopen by 6 p.m. each day.

Due to the test pitting operations and related closures, NJ Transit will detour NYC-bound buses along Washington Street to 15th Street where they will continue to Willow Avenue and resume the regular route north.

A sign at the 12th Street bus stop, for southbound buses, said the stop is being temporarily moved to 10th Street.

Hoboken Terminal-bound buses will stay on Willow Ave until 11th Street, then head to Washington Street, resuming the normal route south. Rerouted buses heading to Hoboken Terminal will use existing stops on Willow Avenue between 11th Street south of 15th Street.

NJ Transit will temporarily relocate the NYC-bound bus stop on the south side of 15th Street to the north side of the Washington Street intersection.

The Rebuild by Design–Hudson River project is intended to mitigate flooding caused by storm surges through the construction of a resist structure including levees, berms, and floodgates.

The resist structure will be integrated into the urban landscape, including within Harborside Park located in northeast Hoboken and through signage, benches, and other urban amenities.
