Traffic disruptions in Lincoln Tunnel due to fatal pedestrian accident - stay informed before traveling.
A serious traffic situation occurred near the Lincoln Tunnel following a hit-and-run incident that resulted in a pedestrian's death on Route 495 in New Jersey early Wednesday morning. The crash took place on Kennedy Boulevard's westbound side in Union City, leading to traffic congestion that extended all the way to the Meadowlands and Route 3 due to drivers slowing down to look at the accident site. The bus lane closure added to the congestion, diverting public transport into regular vehicle lanes. The George Washington Bridge was suggested as an alternative route to ease travel time near the Lincoln Tunnel. Authorities are still investigating the cause of the crash. The incident happened after New Jersey experienced its first snowfall of the season, which caused road hazards across several counties. Slippery roads due to snow and black ice in Morris, Passaic, Sussex, and Warren counties created dangerous driving conditions, leading to closures on routes like 23 and 206. Lawmakers and officials were involved in addressing the challenging road conditions caused by the snowfall.
