WHARTON BOROUGH, N.J. (Morris County) — The ramp from North Main Street to Route 15 northbound will be closed Friday night, along with two lanes on Route 15 southbound, for concrete deck repairs, according to the New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT).
The closures are scheduled to begin at 10 p.m. Friday, Aug. 15, and will remain in place until 6 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 16. The work will be performed on the Route 15 southbound bridge over the ramp to Route 15 northbound.
During the ramp closure, motorists on North Main Street will be directed to:
- Stay left on North Main Street and turn right onto Route 15 southbound
