Starting at 8 p.m. Monday, May 12, until 6 a.m. Tuesday, May 13, and continuing Monday through Friday nights for the next several months, overnight lane closures are scheduled on I-287 northbound in various locations from I-78 in Bedminster to South Street/CR 601 in Morristown. The closures are necessary for restriping, removing raised pavement markings (RPMs) and rumble strips, and pavement repair.
At least one lane will remain open overnight. Motorists are advised to slow down, use caution, and expect delays in the work zone.
Approximately five ramps within the project limits will also be affected. In the event of an overnight ramp closure, motorists should follow posted detours.
