There's a bad accident on Rt 80 west bound side - two charter buses collided. No deaths but they are reporting 12 minor injuries. What is it with that Howard Blvd. exit? I'm sure 80W will be tied up for awhile so anyone planning on coming in that direction in the next few hours..you may want to hop over to Rt. 10 or 46.

My business partner just came thru it on the east bound side...said it looks really bad! One bus flipped over and landed on the median. Even if it's cleaned up in the next few hours... between that and the blasting they are doing - it'll still cause backups for rush hour time..IMO.

No names on the buses so I'm assuming it's charter buses from NYC? heading to the Poconos?

No, depending on traffic at the route 15 & 80 junction, sometimes I take 15 north if 80 west is bad, but if not, then I go to exit 19 instead of 25 (206 N) that way I avoid all the traffic lights in Stanhope & Byram & Andover.

New brunswick right? Oh my dear boy...you must try this route! 206 south before 7:00am to 287 south to River Road. Does that make sense to you? It's a cake drive.

No....East Rutherford. so it's 17 south to route 3 west, to 46 west, to 80 west to either 15 north or 517 (exit 19). and depending on where the traffic jams are on occasion I take 23 north.
