1TRENTON, NJ – New Jersey commuters faced a difficult Thursday morning drive as multiple crashes, disabled vehicles, and long delays clogged major highways and river crossings across the region. Heavy congestion was reported on the Garden State Parkway, New Jersey Turnpike, and routes leading into New York City, with travel times exceeding 45 minutes at several Hudson River crossings.

The most significant backup developed along the New Jersey Turnpike and I-95 approaching the George Washington Bridge , where a three-mile delay extended north from Exit 69 in Teaneck into Fort Lee. Both the bridge’s upper and lower levels saw 45-minute eastbound travel times from I-80 to the Alexander Hamilton Bridge, according to traffic officials.
