Gov. Phil Murphy plans to tour the damage today.
A landslide from Sunday’s severe storms has closed part of Route 46 in Warren County until further notice in Knowlton Township, the New Jersey Department of Transportation said.
Dirt, stones and trees covered a half-mile of Route 46 following Sunday’s torrential storms. The guardrail and roadway are damaged, officials said. County officials reported other roads were closed following the weekend storms and all transportation services, including the Route 57 Shuttle service, have been canceled for today.“The next few days will provide a better picture of the total impact to our county as we stabilize, assess and quantify the extent of the infrastructure damage we have undergone. We are so grateful for our federal and state representatives, especially Congressman Tom Kean Jr.
Route 46 is closed in both directions between Manunka Chunk Road/Upper Serapta Road and Route 519/Hope Bridgeville Road in the township.Westbound traffic should turn right onto Route 519/Hope Bridgeville Road, and follow Hope Bridgeville though the town of Hope before taking the ramp to I-80 westbound.
