MIDLAND PARK — The New Jersey Department of Transportation will be working on improvements to three borough grade-level railroad crossings for three to four weeks starting July 7.
Mayor Patrick “Bud” O’Hagan announced the scope of the project at the May 22 Borough Council meeting and offered his advice to residents.
“If you can take a vacation during this time, I advise you to do so and get out of town,” O’Hagan said. “This is going to be a nightmare.”
The DOT Rail-Highway Grade Crossing rehabilitation project will require 24-hour, multiple-day road closures at the Newtown Road, Sicomac Avenue and Goffle Road/Lake Avenue railroad crossings on the following schedule:
• Newtown Road crossing south of the Wortendyke train station on the Wyckoff border beginning July 7. The complete road closure also will prohibit access to Cedar Hill Avenue at the Newtown Road intersection. Cedar Hill Avenue allows motorists to access Route 208 in Wyckoff.
• Sicomac Avenue crossing near the Kentshire apartment complex at 187 Paterson Ave. beginning July 14.
