Overnight bridge work on Route 18 north and south at Route 1 has begun and will last through August.
The majority of the work will be completed on weekends by crews working around the clock from 10 p.m. Fridays to 5 a.m. Mondays, according to a statement released by the North Brunswick Police Department.
There will be lane closures and major traffic delays as demolition work will be taking place. The ramps from Route 1 north and south onto Route 18 north and south will be closed during the work hours over the weekend.
Detours will be in place during construction, but the work may affect traffic flow through the area. Police officials highly recommend that motorists plan alternate routes.
