    Even though the snow is not sticking, it was making for slick roads on Wednesday evening.

    The Bayonne Bridge was closed in both directions and multiple accidents were reported on the George Washington Bridge, shutting down the upper-level eastbound lanes.

    there were accidents both inbound and outbound on the GWB and they want to get the accidents cleared before spreading salt to make the roads as safe as possible. Drivers were strongly encouraged to avoid the GWB and use the Holland and Lincoln tunnels instead.

    Due to overcrowding at Port Authority Bus Terminal, the second and third levels have been closed. They will reopen when conditions improve.
