Traffic is flowing again in New Brunswick after a crash on Route 18 in Middlesex County this morning.

The southbound side approaching Route 1 and the Turnpike had been reduced to traffic moving on the shoulder or far‑right lane, with drivers diverted onto Paulus Boulevard to rejoin Route 18 south.

All lanes have since reopened, and investigators have left the scene.

Conditions improved as traffic returned to normal levels, and the northbound side continued to move without issues.

There is still no information released about the crash itself.
