The evening of Friday, June 4

Readers report that as of late Friday afternoon, the I-295 ramp is closed at Route 206. All traffic is being forced to exit. The ramp is closed because workers are installing signs a few miles down the road at Route 31. A dump truck crashed, caught on fire, and damaged signs earlier in the day. Readers report that traffic is backed up for miles trying to get on I-295.

In Princeton, police cautioned that some roads may be closed on Friday between 5 p.m. and 8 p.m. because a pro-Palestine demonstration is being held on Hinds Plaza. Road closures would impact the Witherspoon Street area.

A dump truck crash on Route 1 near New Road in South Brunswick caused delays most of the day. Route 1 northbound was closed for a few hours after the 6 a.m. crash on Friday. The road was opened again around 10 a.m. Route 1 was down to one lane in each direction after it was reopened so repairs could be made to the median. The issue could still affect traffic in the evening.
