🚧 Improvements Coming to River Road

Hudson County has approved an exciting safety improvement project for River Road, affecting residents in West New York, Guttenberg, and North Bergen. The project will enhance pedestrian and cycling conditions along this important corridor.

What's Being Done:

  • Complete road resurfacing

  • Enhanced bicycle lanes with protective concrete barriers

  • New safety features including high-visibility crosswalks, improved traffic signals, and dedicated turn lanes

  • Updated curb ramps at intersections

The project is estimated to take 180 days to complete. We’ll be keeping our eyes on this and share updates!
