Washington Ave. Closed For Work This Week

A portion of Washington Avenue in Washington Township will be closed while a contractor installs equipment for United Water this week, according to a notice from the township Police Department.

The eastbound lane will be closed at Van Emburgh Avenue from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Wednesday, Thursday and possibly also Friday, according to the notice. A crew was already working at the site Monday afternoon.

Westbound drivers will be able to use the intersection.

Drivers will be detoured north toward Hillsdale Avenue or south toward East Glen Avenue during the closure.

The westbound lane of Washington Avenue between Pascack Road and Jackson Avenue was also closed for one day last month while it was repaved.
