Gas Main Replacement To Cause Road Closures In Wyckoff

WYCKOFF, NJ — Wyckoff motorists can expect road closures during work on a gas main replacement project by Public Service Enterprise Group that is expected to complete sometime later this summer, the township said in a motorist alert on its website.

Crews are working on a total of 17 municipal roads, excavating an area of 17,856 square feet.

The scope of work for the project includes the following roads: Katherine Street, Lynch Road, Boot Court, James Way, Meer Avenue, West Shore Drive, Colony Court, Pathway Manor, Ellis Place, Kelly Court, Oldwoods Road, West Main Street, Woodfield Road, Burritt Place, Covington Place, Wishing Well Road, Highview Drive.

The work is requiring full and partial closures on affected streets at certain times. Local traffic and emergency services are permitted access, the township said.

Work starts at 7 a.m. Monday through Friday and finishes about 7 p.m. If a home is within active work zone limits, the township asks that residents move their cars onto nearby side streets prior to the 7 a.m. start time.

Police have suspended overnight parking rules in the area, so parking overnight on nearby side streets is permitted.

"We understand that this may be a short-term inconvenience, and we hope the contractor is able to minimize expected delays and inconveniences for the overall improvement to the neighborhood," the township said.
