Route 46 got shut down both ways in Warren County ’cause a wildfire decided to pop up out of nowhere on a Friday afternoon, as per the New Jersey Forest Fire service. This closure is smack dab between Liberty Township and Hackettstown, so if you were planning on cruising down that road, you might wanna find another route. The folks over there are urging residents and drivers to steer clear of the area.
