·7 min read

The NHL season is underway and the Devils are at the Prudential Center Friday and on Monday. The Rock will also host Audacy's We Can Survive concert Saturday, Kirk Franklin's Reunion Tour on Sunday, Ms. Lauryn Hill & the Fugees on Tuesday and Enhypen on Wednesday.

As pumpkin-picking season continues, the West Milford Police Department is taking measures to try to alleviate traffic on the weekends through the rest of the month, specifically on Greenwood Lake and Warwick turnpikes. There may be heavy traffic in the area, so plan extra time or alternate routes for travel.

The New York Jets are back at MetLife Stadium on Sunday with a 4:25 p.m. kickoff. The lots open in the morning, so expect traffic to start building early around the Meadowlands.

Elsewhere in North Jersey, be on the lookout for roadwork that will cause lane closures on major roadways, including the Garden State Parkway and Interstate 80.
