New Jersey motorists know that heading toward the George Washington Bridge is living life in the slow lane. In fact, it’s the slowest lane in America.
For the fifth consecutive year, the intersection of Interstate 95 and Route 4 in Fort Lee on the way to the bridge was rated the nation’s worst bottleneck by the trucking industry’s American Transportation Research Institute.
Traffic going through the area traveled even slower than it did a year earlier, the report said. During peak travel times, the average speed was 20.2 miles per hour in 2022, down 10% from 22.4 mph in 2021. The average speed overall was 26.8 mph, an 11% decline from 30.1 mph a year earlier.
