As part of the Gateway Development Commission’s Hudson Tunnel Project, controlled blasting will begin soon at the construction site located at 1801 Tonnelle Avenue.

 

 

Controlled blasting will begin on Tuesday, Aug. 19 and continue Monday through Friday between the hours of 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. throughout the remainder of the year. Each blast will be brief, lasting less than one second, with up to four blasts anticipated per day. During this window, brief traffic stoppages lasting no more than five minutes will occur on Tonnelle Avenue and Paterson Plank Road to ensure public safety. Police officers and flaggers will be on site to assist with traffic and pedestrian management.

The Gateway Development Commission and its contractor recognize this work may cause temporary inconvenience and appreciate the public’s patience and cooperation. They are committed to completing this work safely and responsibly, with continuous monitoring of noise, dust, and vibration levels.
