The New Jersey Turnpike has reduced the speed limit to 45 miles per hour between Exit 1 (Delaware Memorial Bridge) and Exit 6 (Pennsylvania Turnpike extension) as the snow begins to fall. The speed limit on the Betsy Ross Bridge is down to 35 miles per hour as bridges and overpasses are often the first to freeze.
