WAYNE, NJ — Lanes on both sides of Route 46 near the Willowbrook Mall will be closed this week as part of a roadwork project, state officials announced.
From 10 a.m. until 2:30 p.m. weekdays this week alternating lanes on both the eastbound and westbound sides of the highway will be closed so the highway can be re-striped, the state Department of Transportation announced.
From 8 p.m. Thursday until 6 a.m. Friday, one lane on Route 46 west will be closed. A construction barrier will be installed so the center median can be worked on for several weeks.
