Headed Further South? Summer Traffic Snarls Start
An exodus to the beach to beat the heat coupled with scattered fender benders backs up traffic past the Parkway in Manahawkin
In case you were thinking migrating south of the Rumson-Fair Haven area for this weekend, you may want to be apprised of the traffic situation down there.
By noon today, the traffic on Route 72 East was bumper-to-bumper and moving at a crawl from the Garden State Parkway to over the Causeway into Ship Bottom.
A three-car accident had closed off one lane of the eastbound Causeway and other minor accidents and broken down vehicles could be seen along the highway.
