10:30AM EST: Township officials tell YWN that Route 9 has just been reopened.

Earlier report below:

Route 9, Lakewood, is closed between Central Avenue and Route 88 because of a motor vehicle accident that left wires down. Since vehicles will not be able to cross the lake, drivers should use alternate routes, such as New Hampshire Avenue or Cross Street. JCP&L expects the closure to last about 10 or more hours.
