Morning Commute Breakdown: Here’s What’s Slowing You Down Across New Jersey

It’s shaping up to be a challenging morning on New Jersey’s roads, with crashes, construction, and volume delays creating headaches for commuters. Let’s break it down so you can plan your trip—or just mentally prepare for the gridlock.

Major Incidents to Watch

1. New Jersey Turnpike (Inner Roadway): A crash northbound near Interchange 13 (Goethals Bridge) in Linden is blocking the right lane. Expect slowdowns in the area as crews work to clear the scene.

2. NJ 27 Watermain Break (Princeton Township): Emergency construction has all lanes shifting on the northbound side near CR 605/River Road. Proceed with caution.

3. Garden State Parkway (Irvington Township): A disabled bus is blocking the left lane northbound just south of Exit 143C (NJ 124). This is creating additional congestion during peak travel hours.

4. US 1 Crash (West Windsor Township): A southbound crash at Harrison Street has closed the left lane, causing 5-10 minute delays.
