Drivers heading to NJ via the Lincoln Tunnel this morning got a rude awakening because a tractor-trailer overturned on the helix in Weehawken, NJ around 5:30 a.m., causing the Port Authority to close the NJ bound tunnels. MyFoxNY reports, "Only buses are being allowed through the north tube into New Jersey and there is no inbound express bus service." Drivers are being told to use the Holland Tunnel or George Washington Bridge instead.
Because the Lincoln Tunnel to NJ is closed, traffic is diverted onto local roads to get to the Holland Tunnel and GWB, so it's probably been fun for all drivers. NJ Transit is honoring bus passes on its trains, too.
