Three New Jersey Post Offices not able to open

Isolated interruptions of service have been reported in Central and Northern New Jersey as a result of severe flooding in communities along the Passaic, Ramapo and Delaware Rivers. Acting Governor Richard Codey has declared a state of emergency.

The Wayne, Frenchtown and Stockton Main Post Offices couldn’t open yesterday. Delivery also has been interrupted in two Trenton ZIP Codes — 08618 and 08628. Delivery in Wayne and Frenchtown is being made where streets are accessible, with operations shifted to Sheffield Station for Wayne and Milford for Frenchtown.

The Stockton Main Post Office remains closed, but delivery customers will have service where accessible. Customers will be able to pick up PO box mail and “notice left” items at the Ringoes Post Office.

The Wayne Main Post Office is expected to re-open today when flooding subsides. Frenchtown delivery and PO box operations will continue to be run from Milford, with normal operations expected to return to Frenchtown Wednesday.
