ATRI RELEASES ANNUAL LIST OF TOP 100 TRUCK BOTTLENECKS



FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Wednesday, February 24, 2021

Arlington, Virginia – The American Transportation Research Institute today
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 this latest ATRI list
represent the top 100 congested locations, although ATRI continuously monitors
more than 300 freight-critical locations.

For the third year in a row, the intersection of I-95 and SR 4 in Fort Lee, New
Jersey is once again the Number One freight bottleneck in the country.  The rest
of the Top 10 includes:

2. Cincinnati: I-71 at I-75
3. Atlanta: I-285 at I-85 (North)
4. Atlanta: I-20 at I-285 (West)
5. Houston: I-45 at I-69/US 59
6. Chicago: I-290 at I-90/I-94
7. Chattanooga, Tennessee: I-75 at I-24
8. St. Louis: I-64/I-55 at I-44
9. Rye, New York: I-95 at I-287
10. San Bernardino, California: I-10 at I-15

ATRI’s analysis, which utilized data from 2020, found that while there were
COVID-related impacts on traffic across the country as car drivers stayed at
home, the year was not without severe congestion.  Average truck speeds at a
fourth of the bottlenecks on ATRI’s list were 45 MPH or less, reflecting both a
return to pre-pandemic freight demand throughout the year and the impact of
numerous roadway construction projects in 2020.

“For decades, ATA has been sounding the alarm about how the condition of our
highways is contributing to congestion – which slows down commerce, contributes
to pollution and reduces safety. ATRI’s bottleneck report highlights where our
most critical issues are and should be a guide for policymakers at the state and
federal level,” said American Trucking Associations President and CEO Chris
Spear. “The cost of doing nothing is always higher than the cost of fixing these
problems and we cannot wait any longer to address this mounting crisis.”

top congested locations, you may view the list here.
