Garden State Parkway Late Sunday Night: a Disabled Vehicle Blocks the Right Lane South of Exit 148 in Bloomfield, and the Overnight Work Zones Take Over
The 511NJ feed's one live blockage late Sunday is a disabled vehicle on the southbound Parkway in Bloomfield. Behind it, the night belongs to the work crews: striping in Woodbridge, barrier repairs in Irvington, steel repairs in Clifton.
Late Sunday night on the Garden State Parkway, the 511NJ active-events feed carries exactly one incident blocking a lane: a disabled vehicle on the southbound side south of Exit 148, the John F. Kennedy Drive North exit in Bloomfield, with the right lane blocked, posted to the feed at 10:23 p.m. Drivers heading south through Bloomfield should move left early and expect the squeeze until it clears — the feed gives no clearance time, and this desk claims none.
Everything else on the northern Parkway tonight is the overnight work program, and it is extensive. Line striping is under way on the northbound side from north of Exit 127 in Woodbridge upward; construction holds the northbound lanes between north of Exit 135 in Clark and south of Exit 138; barrier repairs are running southbound between Exit 144 in Irvington and south of Exit 138; and steel repairs are posted northbound between north of Exit 153A in Clifton and north of Exit 155B in Passaic. Each is a lane-closure-class operation in the dark, at the hours when drivers least expect to meet one.
The New Jersey Turnpike itself reads clean in the current accidents listing — no accidents found near the Turnpike — and the earlier Cranford crash south of Exit 137 that closed two left lanes Sunday evening no longer appears as the feed's lead event. The overnight advice is the standard one, and Sunday night it is specific: on the Parkway's northern half, assume a work zone is around the next bend, keep speeds down through the cone lines, and give the Bloomfield disabled vehicle a full lane of room.
