RIDGEWOOD, NJ – If your daily commute involves North Maple Avenue in Ridgewood, be prepared for some major delays. The Ridgewood Police Department has announced a full closure on a critical stretch of the road, which will affect traffic for the next week.

North Maple Ave Road Closure Details

North Maple Avenue will be fully closed to through traffic between East Glen Avenue and Franklin Turnpike.

• Duration: The closure is effective immediately and will run daily through October 17, 2025.
• Hours of Operation: The road will be closed each day from 7:00 AM to 4:00 PM.

Detours have been put in place to guide vehicles around the affected area. Local residents and commuters should expect traffic delays and are strongly advised to plan an alternate route during these hours.

Business Access Maintained

The good news for local shoppers and services is that all businesses located on North Maple Avenue will remain accessible.

Crucially, you must approach these businesses from the Franklin Turnpike side of the closure. If you need to visit a local business, follow the designated detours to ensure you can reach them without issue.

Why the Closure? While the specific reason for the closure (such as construction, infrastructure work, or utility upgrades) was not detailed in the notice, these weekday closures are typically for essential infrastructure improvements that require heavy machinery and trench work, making the road temporarily impassable for safety.

To ensure a smooth commute, check local traffic apps before you leave and plan to use major alternate routes like Route 17 or other local arteries to bypass the area entirely.
