Crash in Jersey City shuts down all lanes of Route 1 & 9
JERSEY CITY, N.J. -- Route 1 & 9 was closed Tuesday in Jersey City following a serious crash.
All lanes were closed in both directions between Duncan Avenue and Route 440 for the morning commute.
Video from the scene appeared to show two vehicles -- one flipped onto its roof, and the other mangled around a utility pole.
So far, there has been no word on what caused the crash or any injuries.
Route 1 & 9 leads into the Holland and Lincoln tunnels, connecting New Jersey commuters with Manhattan.
Traffic was backed up on Route 9 coming in from Newark, as well as on Route 440.
Drivers were advised to consider taking Kennedy Boulevard as an alternate route.
The roadway was able to reopen several hours later.
