Key Question will the New Press blame it all on Christie ?
Next week’s lower-level closures are currently scheduled as follows:
On Monday night, October 26, the lower level eastbound lanes to New York will close from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m.
On Tuesday night, October 27, the lower level westbound lanes to New Jersey will close from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m.
On Wednesday night, October 28, the lower level westbound lanes to New Jersey will close from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m.
On Thursday night, October 29, the lower level westbound lanes to New Jersey will close from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m.
On Friday night, October 30, the lower level westbound lanes to New Jersey will close from 11 p.m. to 8 a.m.
Similar weeknight closures, alternating between the lower-level eastbound and westbound lanes, will continue through mid-November. The Port Authority will provide weekly advisories about the closures.
The closures will allow for the removal of temporary construction platforms used for the upper-level deck installation. The Port Authority will alert the public through its own and its regional partners’ highway variable message signs, with messages directing drivers to use the upper level in the affected direction.
