New Jersey Turnpike spokesman Joe Orlando said the exits at 16W from the turnpike were closed because the tanker was leaking propane. Citing safety issues, he said crews would not attempt to move the truck until after the concert.

Stadium officials said the show's 7:30 p.m. starting time would not be changed, but that Springsteen generally takes the stage at about 8:30.
Orlando says motorists using the turnpike were able to get to the stadium by heading to exit 18W, where they were directed to ramps leading to the stadium.
Orlando also said motorists on Route 3 were facing heavy traffic by the stadium. He said the only access at 16W was for drivers going onto the turnpike's southbound lanes.
