Outbound Lincoln Tunnel reopens with residual delays after police respond to crash

A crash in the Lincoln Tunnel’s north tube blocked outbound traffic shortly before 5 p.m. Tuesday, causing backups on the 11th Avenue approach and delays of more than 45 minutes. Police responded, and the tunnel has since reopened, though residual delays remained. The nature of the crash was not immediately known. WABC’s traffic team advised drivers to use alternative routes while congestion cleared.
