Construction Starts Again At Major Wayne Interchange; Expect Closures

WAYNE, NJ — Drivers should prepare for more delays as construction continues on the Alps Road and Paterson Hamburg Turnpike interchange in Wayne, officials said.

Work began again on Friday, March 15 and is expected to end in mid-May. Temporary traffic patterns will include lane closures in both directions along Hamburg Turnpike.

Police ask drivers to pay attention to all signage, virtual message boards, and changing traffic patterns and to be alert for construction workers and equipment.

A new traffic pattern began at the intersection in December, with a "jughandle" intersections in place and two new traffic lights. The project plan also includes improved drainage, new sidewalks, and widening of both roads.

The project began in spring 2022 and was expected to last about two years.
