Clarksville Road Bridge Update: Interim Repair Plan Moving Forward

There is finally a clearer path forward regarding the Clarksville Road bridge closure.

Last week, NJDOT presented the results of its engineering evaluation and outlined an interim repair strategy that would reopen the bridge in a limited one-lane configuration with alternating traffic flow controlled by signals.

NJDOT estimates the interim repair project may take approximately 9 months due to the complexity of working above Amtrak’s Northeast Corridor rail lines and the limited outage windows available for construction work.

Importantly, NJDOT Commissioner Priya Jain has now designated the project as a high priority and authorized overtime and weekend work to help accelerate progress.

In my latest update, I summarize:

• the proposed interim repair plan
• the expected timeline
• the role of Amtrak coordination
• the status of the permanent replacement project
• and what residents should expect moving forward
