Nor’easter slams the I-95 corridor; empty trailers banned on NYC bridges

A potent nor’easter is hammering the Northeast through Sunday with 30–50 mph inland gusts, 60+ mph offshore winds, 2–4 inches of rain and coastal flooding. New York and New Jersey have declared states of emergency, and the I-95 corridor faces heavy delays through the weekend.

MTA Bridges and Tunnels is banning empty tractor-trailers and tandem trucks from 12:01 AM Saturday, Sept. 26 until 2:00 AM Sunday, Sept. 27.

More closures this weekend

Eastbound I-70 is fully closed at Kipling Street in Denver (Mile 267) from 7 PM Friday to 6 AM Tuesday for bridge work — an 83-hour closure. In El Paso, all eastbound I-10 lanes between Anthony and Transmountain close Saturday through Monday for bridge deck placement, with traffic detoured via South Desert.
