Lawyers for victims of the wreck, which killed four people and injured 19, argued before the state Supreme Court Wednesday, April 30, 2014, to have claims against the state Department of Transportation adjudicated before a jury. The victims have said there weren't adequate safety precautions, like a runaway truck ramp for the steep road. The department denies the road was defective and claims government immunity.

The countdown is starting in earnest for the closure of the Pulaski Skyway through Jersey City. The 81-year-old span is scheduled for a major makeover that will take two years, beginning this Saturday. The project will require the closure of northbound lanes that feed into Jersey City and the Holland Tunnel. The DOT estimates about 40,000 vehicles use the inbound span each day, including about 10,000 during the morning commute. (AP Photo/Mel Evans)
