NEW YORK – It’s a tough morning on the roads for motorists using the Cross Bronx Expressway and the George Washington Bridge on Friday.
A fuel spill on the Cross Bronx Expressway near Grand Concourse caused major traffic backups.
Hazmat units responded to the spill, which occurred around 5 a.m. The accident involved a semi-trailer truck. Responding crews closed lanes at times to clean up the mess.
At the George Washington Bridge, traffic delays of 90 minutes or more were reported. Drivers headed to Manhattan were advised to use the Lincoln and Holland Tunnels instead.
Guy Staniar of First Alert Traffic advises drivers to avoid the George Washington Bridge and the Cross Bronx Expressway if possible.
