Live Traffic Conditions During Winter Weather

Check out ongoing traffic issues on Mapquest's live traffic map

 

Travel may become dangerous in and around Toms River as winter weather approaches Friday afternoon into Saturday morning.

In this real-time traffic map from Mapquest, green portions mean traffic is flowing freely, while yellow and red indicate traffic delays.

TELL US: Have you run into any significant traffic while traveling around Toms River, Ocean County or the state? What areas should other drivers avoid? Have roadway conditions deteriorated?

 The map shows where traffic slows on major commuter roads such as Route 9/166, the Garden State Parkway and Route 37, among others.

 

Zoom in or out if there's a route where you need a close-up.

No news in TR Patch this morning, so... from Brick "Patch"

On the barrier island, there were no reported breaches of the Atlantic Ocean in Brick or Mantoloking. There was one small breach confirmed in Toms River's Ortley Beach section, though it was being considered minor, causing a detour that spanned a few blocks on Route 35's northbound lanes.

The Mantoloking Fire Department said Friday night that the waves were "lapping at the dunes," though nothing had broken through.* A breach in Mantoloking during Sandy is thought to have caused flooding in both the barrier island and mainland neighborhoods in Brick (and TR).

There is still the threat of flooding as the nor'easter moves north. High tide at the Mantoloking Bridge will occur at 11:11 a.m. and 11:38 p.m. Saturday. On the oceanfront, high tide will occur at 6:13 a.m. and 6:40 p.m. Saturday.

*It's time to build up the dunes!
