FORT LEE, New Jersey (WABC) -- A tractor-trailer struck the George Washington Bridge toll plaza in Fort Lee on Monday morning.

Traffic was snarled at the bridge after the truck spilled its cargo.

Port Authority police stopped the truck as it crossed the George Washington Bridge and directed it off the roadway.

Crews worked to clear the lumber spilled in the roadway at the toll plaza.

Port Authority says the inbound upper level had, at one point, a delay of greater than 90 minutes. Meanwhile, cars and buses using the lower level saw much quicker cross times.

This is a developing story. Check back for updates.
