WALL, NJ — A utility pole replacement has closed part of New Bedford Road, Wall Township Police said Tuesday afternoon.

New Bedford Road Southbound is closed at 18th Ave. due to a JCP&L utility pole replacement, police said. The closure is expected to last until 8 p.m.

Though northbound traffic is open, police said it will be shifted into the southbound lane between Wall Church Road and Bentz Road to navigate around utility trucks working in the 1800 block of New Bedford Road.

A detour is currently in place. Police are asking drivers to avoid the area and use alternate routes if possible.

"Thank you for your patience and cooperation as crews work to complete the repairs safely," police said.
