The American Transportation Research Institute recently released its annual list highlighting the most congested bottlenecks for trucks in America.
“While everyone else sheltered in place in 2020, trucks kept rolling, delivering essential goods to communities large and small,” said CRST International President and CEO Hugh Ekberg. “Unfortunately, congestion continues to impact our operations and affect our drivers’ ability to deliver for America.”
The
2021 Top Truck Bottleneck List measures the level of truck-involved congestion at over 300 locations on the national highway system. The analysis, based on truck GPS data from over 1 million freight trucks 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. ATRI’s truck GPS data is also used to support the U.S. DOT’s Freight Mobility Initiative. The bottleneck locations detailed in
New Jersey s George Washington Bridge interchange the worst freight bottleneck in U.S.
The intersection of I-95 and New Jersey Highway 4 at the George Washington Bridge in Fort Lee, New Jersey, is once again the worst freight bottleneck in the U.S. for the third straight year, according to research from the American Transportation Research Institute.

ARLINGTON, Va., Feb. 24, 2021 /PRNewswire/ The American Transportation Research Institute today released its annual list highlighting the most congested bottlenecks for trucks in America, and six Tennessee locations made the top 100, including two in the top 15 in the country. Tennessee is at the crossroads of the country, and increasingly that intersection is being choked by congestion, said
Tennessee Trucking Association President Dave Huneryager. Despite the pandemic, trucks continued moving and delivering their critical loads, but their jobs were made more difficult by these chokepoints. Continuing roadway construction in Nashville and Chattanooga certainly contributed to these rankings, but the fact that there were still significant bottlenecks in our highway system even though people drove less is proof positive that we need to continue inves
