i'm not sure why you think the closure will somehow make the evening in-bound JC commute easier? all routes inbound are congested at night now, subtract one of them and the rest all get more congested.

My understanding is that the rationale for keeping the northbound (inbound to NYC) direction closed is that NY said it was a non-starter to close the southbound direction for fear of traffic backups into NYC. By the way - the northbound direction will be closed for four to five years, not two - once they finish one side, they will begin on the other. However, traffic will only go southbound throughout. At least that was the plan as announced last week.

i am a reverse commuter. i live downtown and travel to central jersey for work everyday. i enter/exit the NJTP at 13A and take the pulaski every morning/evening in order to avoid the ridiculous toll at 14C. (13A toll isn't much better). when the pulaski closes i'll be pretty much forced to take 14C/78 and pay the riducuous toll that is intended for NYC commuters/tourists. anyone in the same position? can we start a petition to implement reduced toll rates for jc residents similar to what staten island has for its residents relative to the bridge tolls out there?

The traffic is going to be permanently outbound for the duration of the closure. This is not a problem for Jersey City residents.
If you have a reverse commute -- out in the morning, in at night -- traffic volume is too low to cause a problem. In fact it might make the return commute easier because fewer cars are pouring into the covered roadway. If for some reason you commute out at night, this doesn't change anything because two lanes will remain open, outbound.

I heard that they say this isnt feasable...
I think they need to quickly figure out how they are going to make it happen... this will be a cluster fck. Quote:

i agree, i could take the 1&9 truck route but in my experience it is a nightmare and will be even more so when the pulaski closes.

They need to consider reversing directions midday. Have it running northbound in the mornings and southbound in the afternoons. Downtown is going to become a parking lot if this proceeds as planned.

They are working on coordination - plan to use the shoulder on the Turnpike Extension as an additional inbound lane during the Pulaski Skyway construction.

I dunno. It's not like keeping a lane open keeps 50% of capacity. It all slows to a crawl anyway, I'd guess to 30% of capacity. And presumably the work will get done MUCH faster with the whole side closed. But they should be damn sure to have no construction concurrent on the tpk extension or the other bridges, they often seem to make no effort at all to coordinate these things.

Does the D.O.T. really have a choice? If I remember correctly, the Skyway on a score of 0 to 100 (100 being in near perfect condition) scored a 2.

Please take a moment to sign this petition. The burden of closing the Skyway for two years will fall heavily on JC.
