An overturned tractor-trailer in Middlesex County and major backups at Hudson River crossings slowed Tuesday’s morning commute across North Jersey.
New Jersey drivers faced a challenging morning commute Tuesday with an overturned tractor-trailer in Piscataway, a disabled truck in Jersey City, and lengthy delays approaching the George Washington Bridge, Lincoln Tunnel, and Holland Tunnel.
The most significant incident was reported on Interstate 287 northbound in Piscataway Township, where an overturned tractor-trailer closed the ramp at Exit 8 for Possumtown Road. The crash was reported shortly after 7:20 a.m. and continued to affect traffic through the morning rush.
In Jersey City, a disabled truck blocked the right lane on the US 1&9 Truck Route northbound near NJ 440, creating additional congestion in one of the state’s busiest freight corridors.
