Just hours after issuing an alert that Valley Street would only be closed today for two blocks between South Pierson Road and Sommers- Avenue today, police updated it to indicate a much longer stretch will be closed.

The latest shutdown has Valley Street from Tuscan Road all the way to Millburn Avenue closed until 4 p.m. today.

Springfield Ave. traffic between Prospect St. and Millburn Ave. will be affected by the detour as well.

This is the latest closure in a week of shutdowns on the busy county road for New Jersey American Water work that has sparked traffic jams along side streets up to Springfield Avenue and lots of delays.

No previous notice was given before the closures began on Monday, with the only formal notice provided on Wednesday. Police have also identified that the work will continue until at least May 6.
