The postponed Route 3 east bridge repair work, put off last weekend, is back on for this Saturday and Sunday, which will detour traffic and affect almost a dozen NJ Transit bus routes. 

All lanes on Route 3 east over the Hackensack River between East Rutherford and Secaucus will be closed this weekend to complete emergency bridge repairs. Traffic on Route 3 west will not be affected, said state Department of Transportation officials.

Route 3 eastbound will be closed from the Route 120 in East Rutherford to the Meadowlands Parkway in Secaucus from 11:30 p.m. Saturday through 11:30 p.m. Sunday to repair the bridge.
