Drivers using the Pulaski Skyway in Kearny should plan for a daytime ramp closure today as crews continue rehabilitation work on the historic bridge.

The New Jersey Department of Transportation says the Kearny on-ramp to the northbound Pulaski Skyway will be closed from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. today.

Crews will install shielding underneath the bridge ahead of structural steel repairs and painting.

The southbound Pulaski Skyway off-ramp to Kearny will remain open.

Drivers will be detoured to access the northbound Skyway from Adams Street:

  • Take Second Street eastbound.

  • Turn right onto Central Avenue.

  • Take the ramp onto Route 1&9 Truck northbound.

  • Stay left at the signal at Communipaw Avenue to remain on Route 1&9 Truck.

  • Stay right to take the ramp back onto Route 1&9.

NJDOT says the rehabilitation project is being completed through multiple construction contracts and is being coordinated with other regional transportation projects to limit traffic impacts.
