STAFFORD TOWNSHIP, N.J. (AP) — Sections of the New Jersey Turnpike and Garden
State Parkway have been closed due to flooding.
The Parkway was closed south of Exit 129 in Woodbridge late Monday
afternoon.
By Monday night, the Turnpike was shut down between Exits 7 and 8 in central
New Jersey and Exits 11 to 14 in northern new Jersey.
Meanwhile, speed limits on the southern stretches of the New Jersey Turnpike
were lowered to 45 mph. And motorcycles and car-pulled trailers were banned from
the roadway.
It was not clear when the restrictions would be lifted.
Scores of smaller roads were also closed.
