Top 10 Truck Congestion Locations in U.S. Revealed

Wondering what are the busiest, most congested truck congestion locations in the U.S. today?

According to a recent report from the American Transportation Research Institute (ATRI) Fort Le, NJ: I-95 AT SR 4 tops the list. The findings, which are based on an assessment of the level of truck-oriented congestion at 250 locations on the national highway system, uses several customized software applications and analysis methods, along with terabytes of data from trucking operations to produce a congestion impact ranking for each location.

The number one spot on the ATRI list this year is the George Washington Bridge which connects New York and New Jersey. It surpassed the perennial first-place holder, Chicago’s Circle Interchange (#2 on the list).

The analysis points to construction on the top deck of the George Washington Bridge which created significant delays for trucks in 2013.
