The New Jersey Turnpike Authority has closed the Garden State Parkway in both directions south of Interchange 129 in Woodbridge Township as of 4 p.m. Monday. The southern portion of the Parkway, from Cape May to Interchange 63 in Stafford Township was closed since early Monday. The additional 66 miles were closed because of deteriorating conditions caused by Hurricane Sandy. On the New Jersey Turnpike, the speed limit has been reduced to 45 mph in both directions between the Delaware Memorial Bridge and Interchange 12 in Carteret. Drivers should expect other closures and restrictions of travel due to ponding water on roadways, leaves and downed trees.
