This is exciting, but it also may be a little bit of a hassle for some local drivers.

Route 133 in East Windsor will be closed for two weeks

Route 133 in East Windsor (both directions) will be completely shut down for 2 weeks for a pretty cool reason, starting today (Monday, October 6).

A new Netflix project is being filmed

Camera crews will be on the road that connects Route 33 and Route 571 to grab footage for a new Netflix production, according to the New Jersey Department of Transportation and TAPinto East Windsor/Hightstown.

Electronic signs in the area have been in place, warning drivers of the closure. Hopefully, it doesn't catch you by surprise when you're trying to get someone quickly.

Saturday, October 11 and/or Sunday, October 12, 6 AM -  8 PM, as well as Monday, October 13 and/or Tuesday, October 14, 8:30 AM - 8:00 PM.

Unfortunately, no details were given about the film project except that it will be on Netflix. A local Facebook group was buzzing about it this morning. One local woman said she saw police leading busted-looking cars, all with New York license plates, being escorted to Route 133 for the filming.
