Work Cleared At Lincoln Tunnel But Delays Remain

Emergency construction on Route 495 heading into the Lincoln Tunnel has been cleared up causing major delays for commuters into New York who looked for alternate routes.

The work at Pleasant Avenue in Weehawken has been cleared leaving delays of at least 20 minutes starting at the New Jersey Turnpike.

New Jersey Fast Traffic's Bob Williams say early commuters heeded warnings of Lincoln Tunnel delays and went for the  Holland Tunnel or the George Washington Bridge where delays of 30 minutes or more remain.
