Emergency crews worked to extract a driver from an overturned tractor-trailer on the New Jersey Turnpike on Wednesday morning.
The truck crashed at Exit 16E, the toll plaza on the eastern spur of the New Jersey Turnpike, around 7:30 a.m.
The accident blocked at least four lanes dedicated to the I-495/Lincoln Tunnel approach.
Delays mounted along the eastern spur, and traffic backed up as far as Secaucus Junction.
Drivers heading into New York City from the New Jersey Turnpike were directed to the George Washington Bridge, and the Holland Tunnel could work as alternate routes.
Drive times from Routes 1 & 9 to the Holland Tunnel were over 60 minutes at one point.
