(Trenton) - New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) officials today announced that a railroad crossing rehabilitation project will require a five-day closure and detour of Moore Street next week in Hackensack, Bergen County.
Beginning at 7 a.m., Monday, July 29, until 7 p.m., Friday, August 2, Moore Street will be closed and detoured in both directions between River Street and Main Street. The existing railroad crossing will be removed and replaced with a new concrete crossing and asphalt approaches. The following detours will be in place:
Moore Street southbound
- Motorists wishing to travel southbound on Moore Street will be directed to take East Salem Street

- Continue towards Moore Street
Moore Street northbound
- Motorists wishing to travel northbound on Moore Street will be directed to turn left onto East Mercer Street

The traffic detours will be coordinated with the local police. If work is completed earlier, the roadway will be reopened accordingly.
In order to provide safer and smoother railroad crossing in Hackensack, Bergen County, the existing crossings will be replaced with new concrete crossings and new asphalt approaches. This federally funded project is included within NJDOT’s railroad grade-crossing safety program that repairs, upgrades, or removes approximately 30 crossings each year, statewide
