Looks like we have some progress at the Newark Toll plaza. Here's what I saw when I was through that area just now.
I didn't pass through the toll plaza (haven't in years), and I was taking my usual diversion route: MD 279/DE 2, Otts Chapel Road, Welsh Tract Road, DE 896. So I crossed over 95 twice on both Otts Chapel and Welsh Tract. There were signs on I-95 saying "new traffic pattern (today's date)"
Southbound was not done yet. Looked like the left lane was going through the high-speed E-ZPass (but not at high speed yet), the center two were going to the booths (the left of 2 lanes signed for E-ZPass Only), and the right lane is still exit-only at DE 896/Exit 1. Traffic was rather heavy in the one cash approach lane, and looked like it was moving at medium speed through the high-speed lane.
Northbound, it appeared as if 2 lanes were going through the high-speed E-ZPass area....the center lane diverged.
I can already see what the next problem is going to be...the 3-lane section of I-95 in MD between the DE tolls and MD 24/Exit 77. With the floodgates open and all that DE traffic suddenly able to get into MD quickly, I-95 will get bogged down in MD during busy times. It was a bear tonight. Northbound will likely jam up at the I-95/I-495/I-295/NJ Turnpike split worse than it does now.
