Oradell Train Crossing Will Reopen Tonight

The Oradell Avenue train crossing is expected to reopen around 7pm tonight after being closed since Friday morning due to NJ Transit repairing the crossing. Oradell Avenue, east of Kinderkamack Road is closed to pedestrians until the crossing is reopened as well. Until the crossing is reopened, residents will need to continue using New Milford Avenue to head into New Milford or over to St. Joseph RC Church or Grant Field.

 Over the weekend, NJ Transit closed the crossing so as to "rehabilitate" part of the Pascack Valley Line.

“We need to rehabilitate four crossings on the Pascack Valley Line,” said spokeswoman Penny Bassett Hackett in a recent report. “Some have not been rehabilitated in 15 years. "

To head into New Milford, residents will have to drive down New Milford Avenue into the neighboring town as an alternate route to access St. Joseph Church.

There will be no access by vehicles across the tracks during the work and residents can expect heavy delays.
