Route 23, Northbound Bridge over Pequannock River Project
West Milford Township, Passaic County and Jefferson Township, Morris County, New Jersey
April 16, 2024 - The Route 23, Northbound Bridge over Pequannock River Project is located between mileposts 25.13 to 25.70 on the border of West Milford township in Passaic County and Jefferson Township in Morris County. The bridge is rated in overall “Poor” condition and is classified as“Structurally Deficient” due to the condition of the deck and substructure. The purpose of this project is to replace the bridge with a cost-effective and low maintenance structure. Additional improvements include improving the substandard horizontal and vertical stopping sight distances, updating guiderails and roadway superelevation to meet current design standards, placing the proposed structure entirely within NJDOT’s right-of-way, and providing wildlife passages below the bridge.
CONSTRUCTION STAGING
Bridge construction will be completed in three primary stages utilizing a single lane closure in Stages 1 and 3.
Stage 1 includes closing the right lane of traffic and maintaining the left lane on the western half of the existing bridge. The eastern half of the existing bridge will be demolished and replaced.
Stage 2 is a “no-work” stage due to environmental permit restrictions for in-water work. The right lane of traffic will be opened on the newly constructed eastern half of the bridge, while the left traffic lane remains open on the remaining portion of the existing bridge.
Stage 3 includes closing the left lane of traffic on the existing bridge and maintaining the right lane on the new bridge. The remainder of the existing bridge will be demolished, and the new structure completed.
PROJECT SCHEDULE
Stage 1 Construction Start: Spring 2024
Stage 2 Construction Start: Winter 2024
Stage 3 Construction Start: Spring 2025
Complete Construction: Spring 2026

At rt23.com, we highlight the
uniqueness of Northern New Jersey with articles on its scenic beauty,
recreational opportunities and history.
The rt23.com research team is out
and about finding items of interest to both long time residents and
visitors. We have our pads, pencils and cameras to make a record of
this scenic part of America.
The state of New Jersey has an undeserved reputation of
being completely covered with big cities and big industry. We'd like to
change this perception by introducing one of the least known and most
beautiful parts of America. Forty percent of New Jersey is forest and
woodland. An additional twenty-one percent is fruit, dairy and
vegetable farms.
Rt23.com is named for North Jersey's
highway Route 23 which begins at a city intersection in Verona, N.J.
and ends near the Delaware River National Recreation Area. Join us as
we explore the region where America begins!
