Crews made cleanup efforts Thursday in many New Jersey towns after high winds and near-50 mph gusts overnight knocked down power lines, poles and trees.
Denville police told News 12 that a tree came down in the storm pulling power lines down with it. They say wires were across the lanes of Route 46, which forced the highway to close this morning.
The power lines have since been removed from the roadway, and Route 46 reopened in both directions. No injuries were reported.
