oh! that sounds like a miscommunication! lol real good info is available here 511nj.org :: Home and here NJTA Mobile

the gov's office screwed up on another announcement today! trying to correct same using lots of media outlets! "***GARDEN STATE PARKWAY: UPDATE*** A source at the New Jersey Turnpike Authority tells us: "We handle both the Turnpike and the Parkway. Please let people know that the Garden State Parkway is closed southbound ONLY at Exit 38. Northbound is open to traffic. For the time being anyway. The Governor's Office's tweet was WRONG and that issue is being addressed." lol

right now there is no state-wide travel ban - just some travel bans that have been implemented for local towns and counties. as i posted before, atlantic county is one that implemented a travel ban as of midnite last nite. maybe the gov will a change the situation in his noon press conference!

may we all fare well thru the duration!
