A single lane of the I-78 westbound express lanes will be closed on Wednesday beginning at the NJ Turnpike Toll Plaza in Newark, along with the express lane completely from west of Leslie Street where traffic will be directed to use the crossover to the I-78 local lanes, according to the NJDOT.
The westbound express lanes will reopen near the Garden State Parkway. The pavement preservation project includes milling and paving the roadway and treating it with a High Performance Thin Overlay (HPTO).
