The Winant Avenue Bridge on Route 46 in Little Ferry was shut down for a few hours Monday after a dump truck had part of its load fall.

The debris spill from the truck shut down part of the highway in both directions, leading to delays in the area Monday morning, the New Jersey Department of Transportation said.

The truck was carrying quartz and granite, which crews had to clean up before reopening the road at around 1:30 p.m. The bridge, which runs over the Hackensack River, connects Little Ferry and Ridgefield Park.

A truck hauling quartz and granite had part of its load fall and break apart on the Route 46 bridge over the Hackensack River causing all traffic to be suspended in both directions while clean up was underway in Little Ferry, NJ on Monday March 13, 2023.
