As of 7:48 a.m., a disabled truck on NJ 495 eastbound just east of Kennedy Boulevard in Union City was blocking two right lanes, contributing to congestion heading toward the Lincoln Tunnel.

At the Holland Tunnel, eastbound delays resulted in a 15-minute travel time from both NJ Turnpike Exit 14C and NJ 139 at Tonnelle Circle.
Delays were also affecting the NJ Turnpike Eastern Spur eastbound exit ramp to Interchange 16E in North Bergen, with a half-mile backup stemming from earlier issues on NJ 495.

The NJ Turnpike Eastern Spur northbound experienced a two-mile delay between Interchange 15E (US 1&9 in Newark) and Interchange 15W (I-280 in Kearny) due to high traffic volume.
