A Pennsylvania man was killed when a dump truck driver lost control on eastbound Route 78, drove through the concrete divider and hit three cars in a crash that closed the westbound lanes for eight hours on Thursday.
Repairs to a section of the the Garden State Parkway that was damaged last fall and an ongoing project on Route 78 are expected to cause delays this weekend.
The 57 hour long project will knock out two lanes over the Route 78 toll bridge all weekend. At the other end of the highway only one lane will be available heading east on the Newark Bay-Hudson County Extension coming off the main line Turnpike.
