Tara Temby, 46, was crossing the southbound lanes of the highway when she was hit by a Saturn driven by a 70-year-old Glen Gardner man near milepost 38.4 shortly before 7:30 p.m., NJSP Sgt. Philip Curry said.
Temby, of Flemington, was pronounced dead at the scene, Curry said.
No traffic resulted from the two-and-a-half-hour closure of the right lane following the accident, authorities said.
The incident remains under investigation, authorities said.
