Hackensack River Crossing Closed 'Indefinitely'

The Court Street Bridge linking Bogota and Hackensack is closed indefinitely, Bogota Police announced Friday. 

Travelers were advised to use other routes. It was not immediately clear why the bridge crossing was shut down. 

The bridge reopened in February after being closed to repair damage caused by Hurricane Sandy. However, a $1 million repair project was expected to continue through March. 

Much of the bridge structure was replaced as part of a 26-month upgrade project, northjersey.com reported. 

Another nearby river crossing, the Anderson Street Bridge linking Teaneck and Hackensack, was restricted to one lane in each direction after an inspection last year found the structure needed major repairs. 

Eleven bus routes carrying 2,000 riders were also rerouted off the busy link.
