Allwood Road Gas Main Repair Project

Please be advised that PSE&G is performing gas main repair work along Allwood Road between Chanda Court and the Garden State Parkway overpass to permanently address an ongoing leak and improve the reliability of gas service in the area.

Preliminary work has already begun, and the project is expected to take approximately 4–6 weeks, weather permitting. Work will take place Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Final road restoration will occur at a later date following the required settlement period.

During most of the project, two eastbound lanes on Allwood Road will be closed, with the length of the closure varying based on the day’s work location. Two lanes of traffic will remain open for eastbound and westbound travel, and no detours are anticipated.

PSE&G and its contractors are coordinating closely with Passaic County and the Clifton Police Department to maintain a safe work zone and minimize traffic impacts.

Motorists are encouraged to allow additional travel time, use caution, and follow posted traffic controls while traveling through the area.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation as this important infrastructure work is completed.

On behalf of the Clifton Democratic Club, we would like to extend our sincere thanks to everyone who helped make our Board of Education Candidate Forum last night, September 10th, such a success.

Many thanks to the City Council for approving the use of the Council Chambers and for helping to have the forum recorded so it could be shared with the public. Thank you to City Clerk Kathleen. Your support in making sure this important forum could be brought to the public is deeply appreciated.

Thank you to all of the BOE candidates all whom participated. We certainly have a wonderful group to choose from this year, and we are so grateful that each of you has stepped forward to be of service to the citizens of our city and to our children.

A very special thank you to Donna Ward and the League of Women Voters of the Montclair Area for your professionalism, your guidance, and for making this such a successful and well-run event. Thank you to our chairs Donna Carpinelli Popowich and TD Desai. They did an amazing job with every detail.

Thank you to our Special Police Officers who helped guide everyone into the chambers and watched over all of us for our safety.

With a City Council election this year, we did not want to lose sight of the Board of Education, who are responsible for so many of our tax dollars and for the future of our city and our children.

Thank you to all who attended and participated, and a special thank you to our volunteers that evening, George Silva and Margaret Curreri for all of your help.

We appreciate our community!
