FORT LEE — The municipal clerk at Fort Lee Borough Hall this morning released 911 and police communication tapes from last September's lane closures at the George Washington Bridge, which has embroiled Gov. Christie Christie's administration in controversy.

The audio files span a 28-hour period during four days between Sept. 9, 2013 when the lanes first closed and Sept. 13, when they were opened again.

Political payback is widely considered to have motivated the lane closures, which are under investigation by a state legislative committee.

Below are dispatch and police communication audio files released this morning. Personal information included in these dispatch tapes was redacted by the Fort Lee police department.

Please check back with NJ.com throughout the morning for breaking updates about the tapes and the developing story.
