Traffic and construction, probably the last thing you want to think about on a Sunday

As we head out of the holiday season and smack into the cold winds of January and a new year, the reality of construction projects around New Jersey and the traffic delays those projects will cause hits us like a blast of wind off the Atlantic. NJ.com has a handy list of all the projects and roadway hassles you're going to face in 2015, though some of these projects will definitely improve life they will come with headaches. We also have one more year of the Pulaski Skyway repairs, about halfway through the closure today.

So take a look and make your plans to get around the big projects this year.

The 1&9 is closed in Newark -- both directions this morning

The Jersey City Desk traffic copter is reporting that the 1&9 in both directions out in Newark is closed due to an overturned tractor trailer.

Tonnelle Circle at Route 1&9 is about to get WORSE if you can believe it

Yes, the world's biggest washing machine for cars will have one lane closed in every direction as a construction site is set up. The usual 15 minutes to a half an hour to get through that mess could now take even longer.

Happy happy joy joy...

St. Paul's westbound at Tonnele is closed this morning

So please, reroute your driving hell in the Tonnele circle accordingly...
