Needing to go to 287 from 208 tonight? Don’t! Route 17 exit after Franklin lakes is closed - absolute mayhem.

I’ve never seen anything like it, that exit is completely closed in both directions. There are tractor trailers lined up along the shoulder and third lane just parked there for miles! There are poor cars lined up behind them not knowing they’re just parked there. I’ve never seen anything like that there before. How they thought this was a good idea during rush hour of all times I have no idea.

There was all road work cones and vehicles so that led me to believe it was something semi planned but I don’t know for sure! Valid thought!
