Ahead of Wednesday’s winter storm, New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy has issued a state of emergency beginning at 2 p.m. All state offices not responding to the storm will close at 1 p.m., said Murphy during his storm update.
The New Jersey Department of Transportation has issued a commercial vehicle ban on seven interstate highways starting at 1 p.m.
While the department has strongly advised all residents to stay off the road during the snowfall, the restrictions include tractor-trailers, empty straight CDL-weighted trucks, passenger vehicles pulling trailers, recreational vehicles, and motorcycles.
