(Trenton) – New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) officials announced the Commercial Vehicle Travel Restriction will be lifted effective at 6 p.m. today, Tuesday, March 14 for all highways.

All vehicles previously listed in the restriction are able to resume normal travel on the following highways in both directions:

• I-78, entire length from the Pennsylvania border to I-95 (New Jersey Turnpike)
• I-80, entire length from the Pennsylvania border to I-95 (New Jersey Turnpike)

• I-287, entire length from NJ Route 440 to the New York State border
• NJ Route 440, from the Outerbridge Crossing to I-287

Interstate and State highways are in good condition, but with high winds and freezing temperatures there is a potential for roads to be slippery. It is important to remember road conditions can change quickly. Our crews will continue to monitor conditions through the night to make sure roads remain in good condition.
