Major Traffic Delays In North Jersey After Truck Flips, Spills Gravel On 1-287; I-78 Crash (Video)

Major traffic delays are happening in North Jersey after a truck flipped on a N.J. highway, police said.

A dump truck flipped and spilled gravel on 1-287 in Bernards Township at milepost 29, according to the State Police.

The right and center lanes were for the gravel cleanup, police said. But traffic is believed to be backed up for at least 20 miles east and west since the cleanup is expected to take hours.

That incident and what's been reported as a "major wreck" in the Union County may also be impacting travel on 1-78. Traffic is backed up on the roadway between Somerset County and Newark.
