Trenton NJ, In order to allow ample time for roadways, parking lots and sidewalks to be cleared and made safe for travel, the State of New Jersey has authorized a delayed opening two hours from normal start times for all non-essential state employees on Thursday, March 8, 2018.
Essential employees should report to work on their regular schedule.
Current road conditions are available at the New Jersey Department of Transportation website at www.511nj.org
New Jersey State Police will be out on patrol if you need us.
Remember…driving at speeds too fast for the road conditions is often a contributing factor in snow-related crashes and spinouts. Take it slow and leave extra room between yourself and the vehicle in front of you should you have to brake unexpectedly.
Steer clear of downed power lines. Always assume they are live and dangerous!!!
