Traffic along I-76 eastbound in southern New Jersey was diverted for hours overnight on Monday as an overturned dump truck had been causing issues for several hours.

According to officials, the incident happened at about 2:55 a.m. when a dump truck overturned along I-76 eastbound, just west of Exit 1B to I-295 in Gloucester City, NJ.

All lanes headed eastbound were closed between Market Street and I-295 for several hours due to clean up efforts.

However, as of about 6:45 a.m., the truck had been moved out of the roadway and, as seen by NBC10's SkyForce10, crews were in the process of reopening the roadway and traffic was starting to move through the area.
