The Route 17 southbound ramp to Route 3 eastbound is scheduled to have overnight closures for approximately one month beginning on Monday, January 12 in Rutherford, Bergen County.

Beginning at 9 p.m. Monday, January 12 until 6 a.m. Tuesday, January 13 and continuing Monday through Thursday nights at the same time through February 13, the Route 17 southbound ramp to Route 3 eastbound is scheduled to be closed and detoured.

The overnight closures are necessary to make concrete repairs to the bridge deck on the ramp over Route 17 northbound. The following detour will be in place:
Route 17 southbound to Route 3 eastbound Detour:

• Motorists on Route 17 southbound wishing to take the ramp to Route 3 eastbound will be directed to continue on Route 17 southbound, which becomes Rutherford Avenue
• Turn left onto Polito Avenue

The work is part of the $8.5 million federally funded maintenance contract that will make preventative repairs to 25 bridges and will paint three bridges in various locations on Routes 3, 17, 120 and 495 throughout Bergen, Hudson and Passaic counties.
