Lane closures on highway leading to Port Newark, Elizabeth
New Jersey transportation commissioner Kris Kolluri said reconstruction of the westbound side of the Interstate 78 local lanes will begin Saturday. Reconstruction of the eastbound local lanes began on March 9.
I-78 is a major truck route in and out of the marine terminals in Newark and Elizabeth.
The DOT said a total of four of the five I-78 travel lanes will remain open in each direction during peak hours throughout construction.
Work will continue into at least November.
