Plainfield Announces Road Closures for Snow Removal on Friday

Residents Advised to Relocate Vehicles Ahead of Scheduled Street Maintenance

Plainfield, NJ, is set to implement road closures on Friday, January 30, to facilitate snow removal operations. The affected streets will be inaccessible from 4 a.m. to noon.

The specific areas impacted include:

- West Front Street between Park Avenue and Central Avenue

- Watchung Avenue from East 4th Street to the city border

- South Avenue between Berckman Street and Watchung Avenue

Residents in these zones are urged to move their vehicles off the streets to avoid towing. While the closures are scheduled until noon, some areas, such as Watchung Avenue, have posted no-parking signs extending until 4 p.m. Nearby parking lots and garages are available for alternative parking.

Parents and commuters should plan accordingly, as these closures may impact the morning rush hour. Staying informed about local traffic updates is recommended to navigate potential delays.

This initiative follows a series of snow events in the region, including a significant storm on January 17, 2026, which brought heavy snowfall to Plainfield. The city continues to prioritize public safety and efficient snow management during the winter season.
