Mid-Morning Traffic: A Crash Closes a Lane on I-295 at Barrington, a Disabled Vehicle Blocks I-80 in South Hackensack, and Porchtown Road Is Still Closed in Franklin Township
The 511NJ board at 8:10 a.m. Eastern is a lane-closure board, not a shutdown board: I-295 northbound at Exit 29, I-80 eastbound west of Exit 66, and debris on the Turnpike's Eastern Spur. The one full closure is a local road in Gloucester County, and police still give no reopening time.
Three lane closures lead the 511NJ active-incidents feed read by this desk on Monday morning, timestamped 8:10 a.m. Eastern. In South Jersey, a crash on I-295 northbound at Exit 29 — US 30 in Barrington — has one left lane of three and the right shoulder closed, in an entry timestamped 8:00 a.m. In Bergen County, a disabled vehicle on the I-80 eastbound local lanes west of Exit 66, Hudson Street in South Hackensack Township, has one left lane of two closed, timestamped 8:02 a.m. And on the New Jersey Turnpike's Eastern Spur southbound, south of the Northern Mixing Bowl in Ridgefield, debris has one left lane of three blocked, in an entry timestamped 7:52 a.m. The feed attaches no injury report to any of the three, and none is reported here.
The one full road closure on the board is not on a highway at all. Porchtown Road in Franklin Township, Gloucester County, remains closed between Royal Avenue and Frontage Road while police search the area around an overnight shooting investigation, the Cherry Hill Courier-Post reported Monday morning: officers responded to a home in the 1200 block of Porchtown Road, New Jersey State Police confirmed the investigation, and the Franklin Township Police Department says motorists should find alternate routes while it remains active, with no reopening time given. This desk reports the closure and the confirmed investigation only — officials have still released no injury or custody information, and none is claimed here.
Compared with the board that opened the morning, the shape has changed: the NJ 23 northbound closure at West Milford that led the early file does not appear in the top listing of the 8:10 a.m. feed read this run, and this desk claims no clearance time for it, because the feed gives none. What the mid-morning board does say is simpler — three highways each missing a lane in three different corners of the state, and one Gloucester County road closed outright until police say otherwise.
