Traffic is backed up on the Philadelphia-bound Ben Franklin Bridge after a tractor-trailer overturned on Monday, morning officials said.
One westbound lane is closed but two others remain open following the 11 a.m. crash, the Delaware River Port Authority said.
The truck contained onions, which are strewn across the highway above the Old City section of Philadelphia, NBCPhiladelphia.com reported.

South Philly Review
Packer Park goalie hopes to follow the greats
Billy Stuski is a talented goaltender. And he’s smart, too.
Only a high school freshman, the Packer Park resident has a good grasp on whom to attempt to emulate when he’s between the pipes.
“Carter Hart,” Stuski said with a smile. “He’s from Philly and he’s a great goaltender and he’s fun to watch. It’s really inspirational because he covers his angles really well and he’s a big goaltender so it’s good to see how he moves.”
In normal times, Stuski can take a short walk to see his hero Hart play, as the 22-year-old backstops the Philadelphia Flyers at the nearby Wells Fargo Center on many fall and winter nights. Stuski has to go a bit farther to hone his own skills, as he entered his first year at Gloucester Catholic High School in New Jersey.
As the storm continues into Tuesday, the state will see a second day of school, travel and government disruptions. Even though the snow and wind won t be nearly as intense, Tuesday looks like another wintry day across the Garden State. A few more inches of accumulation will be possible before this coastal storm system finally kicks out to sea Tuesday evening, New Jersey 101.5 Chief Meteorologist Dan Zarrow said.
NJ Transit announced its plans late Monday night to operate on a modified schedule on Tuesday.
Trucks will continue to be banned from some New Jersey highways and schools either have canceled classes completely or moved all instruction online for the day.
