State, Port Authority warn of "significant" eastbound delays because of Cross Bronx bridge repairs, urge drivers to use mass transit, and to expect bus delays into the city through Labor Day.
This summer could be remembered as a traffic hell by the millions of people who travel east over the George Washington Bridge thanks to the closure of a lane on the oft-congested Cross Bronx Expressway from this Friday through Labor Day. The lane closure will take place on the Alexander Hamilton Bridge, which spans the Harlem River and connects Manhattan to the Bronx. The bridge is already a chokepoint, as traffic from both levels of the GWB merge onto one roadway. Several other significant roadways feed into and out of the span, including the Harlem River Drive and Major Deegan Expressway. NJDOT officials are urging motorists to take mass transit into New York if possible and consider an “alternate route” or travel during off-peak hours “…

Woodland Road at Samson Avenue getting major renovation.
When workers complete a renovation of Woodland Road at Samson Avenue in several weeks, the intersection will be safer for pedestrians crossing the street, officials said.

Part of the intersection is being lowered to improve visibility and will include elements to better handle pedestrians at the location, he said. J.A. Alexander Inc. of Bloomfield was awarded the contract after bidding $371,715.94 for the project in May. Construction restarted after being halted during the winter. Vogel said it's a…

The office and retail building is due to open in September according a sign at the site, which lists a number for AMA Consulting Engineers. The application for the project at 122 Main Street gave some officials pause when they learned Walgreens was a possible tenant and the store planned on seeking permission to stay open 24 hours a day.
