Route 22 Lane Closures For Repairs Set On Somerset, Union County Border For Thursday

NORTH PLAINFIELD, NJ — Lanes on Route 22 will be closed on Thursday morning for priority repairs in North Plainfield, New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) officials announced.

Beginning at 10 a.m. on Thursday, Nov. 4, NJDOT's contractor, Konkus Corp., will close the left lane on Route 22 in both directions between Grove Street and Newton Street in North Plainfield.

These closures will allow the contractor to install a construction barrier, creating a work zone to repair the concrete median that was damaged during Tropical Storm Ida, according to NJDOT.

Two lanes of traffic will be maintained in both directions at all times. The closures are anticipated to remain in place through Thursday, Nov. 11.

If work is completed early, the road will reopen sooner. The precise timing of the work is subject to change due to weather or other factors.
