Overview
- As of Friday morning, only the left shoulder was open on Route 3 eastbound, with delays stretching to the Garden State Parkway.
- Transportation officials said the emergency work addresses damage tied to a problem that developed Wednesday afternoon.
- Drivers were urged to use Route 46 and Route 80 as alternate routes during the repaving.
- Thursday’s morning commute was snarled when a gravel-filled dump truck overturned near Passaic Avenue, closing all eastbound lanes and spilling its load.
- Authorities have not released the cause of the crash or any injury information, and westbound traffic experienced rubbernecking delays.
