- The last exit on Rt 440 North in Bayonne before NJTP will be Pulaski Street

- Please enroll in the Swift911 Emergency Notification System and enable SMS text messages to receive latest updates (www.bayonnenj.org)

- The potential for significant delays is high, therefore, you should allow for extra time and use alternative routes (such as Bayonne Bridge)
- ALL motorists are strongly advised to avoid this closure area
The project should be conducted at one direction of the Route 440 at a time instead closing both direction at the same time.
