The city is urging all drivers to avoid the Lincoln Tunnel this morning, after a rush hour crash involving two New Jersey Transit buses snarled traffic. Both buses have been cleared from the crash scene and all lanes are open, but the Port Authority says drivers can expect "substantial residual delays" of up to two hours in both directions.
