The crash investigation had all outbound lanes closed onto 495. Drivers were being detoured off to the Weehawken-Hoboken local exit. 

Only one inbound lane was open, causing delays that stretched back to the New Jersey Turnpike and onto Route 3. 

All lanes reopened shortly after 7:30 a.m., but residual delays remain around the area. 

Drivers should take the George Washington Bridge or Holland Tunnel for alternate routes.
