Okay, local Baristanet citizens. I know we've got bigger news on our hands today than just some traffic, but this one's pretty bad.
As of sometime before 8:40am this morning (when I passed it), it appears that a chunk of overpass or the wall of the underpass some cargo from a truck (thanks, MISTALUKE in the comments!) has fallen into the right lane of the highway where Paterson Plank Road crosses Route 3, right near Secaucus. I haven't been able to confirm via Web or elsewhere yet as to exactly what it was, as it could have been dropped cargo, etc., but it is right under that overpass. Here's a Google Map for you:

In any case, it's an absolute parking lot Eastbound, even backing up the exit 16W ramp onto the service road that merges onto Route 3 right before the river. Here's one shot I took a few minutes ago.

Actually it was a dump truck overloaded with steal I beams. It tried passing under the Paterson Plank Road ramp, and didn't quite make it. So its just the cargo of the truck, but I'm sure they'll have to do some safety checks on the overpass itself.
