The seemingly endless traffic jams that gum up the highways in Fairfield County and the Westchester-Hudson Valley region were cited in a new listing of the nation”™s Top 100 Truck Bottlenecks by American Transportation Research Institute, a nonprofit research affiliate of American Trucking Associations.
Interstate 95 drivers may not be surprised to learn that the highway”™s congested passages through Stamford and Norwalk ranked 37th and 49th, respectively, on the ATRI list; Connecticut also secured an 11th place ranking with the intersection of I-84 and I-91 in Hartford.
In New York, Rye took a 13th place ranking for its traffic-backlogged intersection of I-95 and I-287, while Elmsford ranked 79th for the intersection of I-287 and I-87 and Nyack ranked 81st for its stretch of I-287.
“This report should sound the alarm for policymakers that the cost of doing nothing is too high, and provide a roadmap of where to target investments to really solve our nation’s mounting infrastructure crisis,” said Chris Spear, president and CEO of American Trucking Associations.
