Ridgewood NJ, Commuters and residents in the Ridgewood area should prepare for significant travel adjustments. Ridgewood Water, in partnership with Scafar Contracting, Inc., is officially kicking off construction on the highly anticipated Eastside PFAS Treatment Facility.
This major infrastructure project will take place near State Highway 17 and E. Saddle River Road, and will include the installation of associated Raw Water Mains along several key local roadways.
To allow crews to safely begin excavation and utility work, Van Emburgh Avenue is closed to through traffic, marks the official start of the project’s local traffic impacts.
Impacted Areas & Construction Zone
