A water main break shut down multiple lanes of Route 3 eastbound in East Rutherford early Friday ahead of the morning commute.

The break was reported at about 12:30 a.m. by the Meadowlands Sports Complex, according to the New Jersey Department of Transportation. As of 6:30 a.m. the two right lanes and shoulder were closed.

A map posted by the DOT showed traffic backups for several miles leading up to the break. No word yet on when it will be cleared.
