Nine intersections in Atlanta are among the 100 worst “bottlenecks” in the country

ATLANTA, Georgia. – Nine intersections in Atlanta are among the 100 most congested in the country, a study by the American Transportation Research Institute Posted this Wednesday.

The institute’s report evaluates GPS data from hundreds of truckloads and traffic measurement applications. The institute evaluates nearly 300 intersections across the United States and each year selects the 100 most congested.

The analysis indicates that traffic conditions “continue to deteriorate from recent years as more Americans are returning to work following the pandemic.”

The study points out that during rush hour, vehicles traveling through the 10 most congested intersections do not even reach 30 miles per hour.

The worst “bottlenecks” in the country

For the fifth year in a row, the intersection of I-95 and SR 4 in Fort Lee, New Jersey once once more ranked first.

The top 10 remaining bottlenecks include:

Chicago: I-294 en I-290/I-88
Houston: I-45 en I-69/US 59
Atlanta: I-285 and I-85 (North)
