Will the Garden State Parkway Bridge Fully Open Today?

If you were like me and attempted to drive across the Great Egg Harbor Bay Bridge towards Cape May yesterday, you know it was an absolute mess.

A construction accident caused traffic to be at a stand still, and eventually had only ONE lane open. It took some unique driving skills to squeeze into the one lane available, and thankfully I didn't damage my new car in the process.

Here's what happened:

Thankfully all this mess happened on a Wednesday. Could you imagine if all of this happened on a Saturday? So much for that weekend getaway.

All lanes should be open today, so please drive safe.
