Afternoon Traffic: US 206 Is Closed in Both Directions in Montgomery After a Crash With Injuries, and a Crash Slows the Turnpike South of Interchange 10 in Edison
NJDOT has every lane of US 206 closed north of Orchard Road in Montgomery Township. On the Turnpike, a southbound crash south of Interchange 10 blocks the right shoulder.
The afternoon's hardest closure is on US 206 in Montgomery Township, Somerset County. NJDOT's 511NJ feed reports a crash with injuries on US 206 in both directions north of CR 533/Orchard Road, with all lanes closed northbound and all lanes closed southbound as of the feed's 12:13 p.m. update. The feed confirms injuries and gives no further detail; no fatality has been reported by officials, and drivers in the Princeton–Hillsborough corridor should expect to be routed around the closure until NJDOT clears it.
On the New Jersey Turnpike, the Turnpike Authority reports a crash on the southbound Inner Roadway south of Interchange 10 (NJ 440/I-287) in Edison Township, with the right shoulder blocked as of 11:58 a.m. It is a shoulder closure, not a lane closure, but it sits on the stretch southbound drivers use toward the Outerbridge Crossing and the Raritan tolls.
The standing items are unchanged: Port Street in Newark remains under truck restrictions in both directions between Brewster Road and Marlin Street, with the left lane closed. 511NJ remains the live source for the US 206 reopening; this desk will update when NJDOT changes the closure's status.
