Title: New Jersey Route 19 Closure?
Post by: BridgesToIdealism on September 01, 2020, 06:15:20 PM
What's up with this apparent full freeway road closure on the northbound lanes of New Jersey Route 19 in Paterson?(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200901/6999243a5695fbb3ca0c7735667d5157.jpg)

There was a sinkhole several weeks ago that apparently has caused more issues than anticipated. US 19 detour shields are up (NJ 20 to I-80 west).

Apparently they've wrapped up the sinkhole repairs (https://www.state.nj.us/transportation/uploads/comm/news/details/comm_np_20200901_112302_Rt_19_sb_reopened_and_nb_lanes_will_open_tomorrow_as_emergency_sinkhole_repairs_complete.pdf) and all ramps and roadways should be open by the end of today.

They brought Pittsburgh to North Jersey. I snapped a couple photos.
