Trenton, NJ – The New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) has issued commercial vehicle travel restrictions across multiple Interstate highways starting Friday, December 26, at 3 p.m., ahead of a developing winter weather system expected to bring hazardous driving conditions.
According to the New Jersey State Police and NJDOT, the restrictions are part of a Winter Weather Travel Advisory impacting tractor-trailers, box trucks, and other heavy commercial vehicles. Affected routes include sections of Interstates 78, 80, 195, 280, and 287, as well as the New Jersey Turnpike.
Officials are urging drivers to delay nonessential travel and to check 511nj.org for up-to-date information on closures and road conditions. Passenger vehicles should also prepare for icy roads and reduced visibility Friday evening into Saturday morning.
The travel limits are intended to reduce roadway incidents and congestion during the storm’s peak impact period. Restrictions will remain in place until weather and roadway conditions improve, according to NJDOT.
Motorists are reminded to give snowplows and emergency vehicles extra space and to avoid parking along road shoulders to ensure snow removal crews can operate safely.
