TRENTON — Monday morning brought a mix of delays, crashes, and a disabled vehicle that are affecting key New Jersey roadways during the early commute, transportation officials said.
As of 7:13 a.m., a disabled vehicle is blocking the right lane of the southbound inner roadway of the New Jersey Turnpike just north of Interchange 8A (NJ 32) in South Brunswick Township.
Earlier, at 7:04 a.m., a crash was reported on the Garden State Parkway northbound just north of the Driscoll Bridge in Woodbridge Township, also blocking the right lane.
Heavy traffic volume is causing a one-mile delay on the eastbound Hudson County Extension of the New Jersey Turnpike near Interchange 14 (I-78) in Newark, though all lanes remain open.
Commuters heading toward Manhattan are also facing delays at several crossings:
- Holland Tunnel: 10-minute wait from Turnpike Exit 14C and 15 minutes from NJ 139 at Tonnelle Circle.
- Lincoln Tunnel: 20-minute delays at both the center and south tunnels eastbound from Turnpike Exit 16E.
- George Washington Bridge: 25-minute delay on the lower level and 30-minute delay on the upper level from I-80 to the Alexander Hamilton Bridge.
Other delays include:
- I-280 eastbound from Exit 12 (Garden State Parkway) to Exit 15 (NJ 21) in Newark.
- NJ 21 northbound near Exit 13 (Randolph Avenue) in Clifton.
- US 1&9 northbound in Fort Lee from south of Bergen Boulevard to south of US 9W.
- Turnpike Eastern Spur northbound from the Southern Mixing Bowl to just south of Interchange 15W (I-280) in Newark, with a two-mile backup due to volume.
