Sewer Work Will Close Hoboken Streets, Limit Parking In One Neighborhood

HOBOKEN, NJ — As the North Hudson Sewerage Authority continues upgrading the city's aging sewer system, they'll have multiple crews working near the city's northern border with Weehawken this week, the city said.

Crews will continue the installation of piles, pile caps, pipe cradles, storm sewer pipes, manholes, and inlets, with construction along Clinton Street between 15th and 16th Streets, 16th Street between Clinton Street and Willow Avenue, and 13th Street between Adams and Clinton streets.

Restoration crews will also be working on sidewalks and curbs along portions of 14th, 15th, and 16th streets, including at the intersections of Adams and Jefferson streets, the city said.

Due to this work, the following traffic changes and road closures will be in effect, the city said:

• Clinton Street between 15th and 16th Streets and 14th Street between Grand and Clinton Streets will be closed 24/7 with limited access provided only to local residents and essential services.
• Grand Street between 12th and 14th Streets will be closed to through traffic from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.., though local access will be maintained, and a temporary two-way traffic pattern will be in place between 13th and 14th Streets to allow residents to reach garages.
• 16th Street between Clinton Street and Willow Avenue will be closed from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. with detours in place for westbound traffic.
• 13th Street between Adams, Grand, and Clinton streets will be closed to through traffic during daytime hours, though local access to residences and parking garages will be maintained.
• 13th Street between Clinton Street and Willow Avenue will remain open, with a temporary two-way traffic pattern in place to support circulation.

Meanwhile, the city is also working on construction on upper Washington Street as part of the federal Rebuild By Design project to handle storm surges.

The city said drivers should expect delays, follow posted detour signs, and use caution when driving in the area.
