Inbound buses resume route through Lincoln Tunnel

  Eyewitness NewsNEW YORK (WABC) -- An overturned tractor-trailer on the outbound helix of the Lincoln Tunnel created a traffic nightmare Wednesday morning.

The accident and resulting fuel spill shut down the inbound express bus lane, and the MTA is cross-honoring tickets. Port Authority buses were diverted to Secaucus Junction or Newark Penn Station, where commuters were moved to trains.

All lanes on the highway reopened around 7:45 a.m., but the bus diversions continued for an additional half hour.

Delays of up to an hour continued throughout the morning.

Work to cause delays near Holland Tunnel

  Eyewitness NewsWOODBRIDGE, N.J. -- Motorists who use the Holland Tunnel to get to the New Jersey Turnpike should expect delays, beginning Wednesday.

Bridge work will reduce the westbound entrance from two lanes to one for the next two weeks.

There will be no shoulders on the westbound side. Disabled vehicles will be able to pull behind cones. (Copyright ©2011 by The Associated Press. All Rights Reserved.) Get more New Jersey News »
