Traffic could be seen backing up behind the wreck.
Drivers who could avoid getting onto I-295 were urged to use the New Jersey Turnpike or U.S. Route 130 as alternate routes, said NBC10 First Alert Traffic reporter Sheila Watko.
Drivers could use those roads to access the Delaware Memorial Bridge and other points south toward Delaware.
As of 10 a.m., the right lane remained blocked. A little more than an hour later, traffic was moving normally again.
