The American Transportation Research Institute released its 14th annual list highlighting the most congested bottlenecks for trucks in America.
The "2025 Top Truck Bottleneck List" identifies and ranks the 100 worst traffic bottlenecks affecting trucks across America's highways, drawn from monitoring over 325 crucial freight locations. The rankings are created by analyzing massive amounts of GPS data from freight trucks, using specialized software to process the information. This GPS tracking data is valuable enough that it's also utilized by the U.S. Department of Transportation to study freight movement patterns and issues.
The Top 10 Bottlenecks are:
Fort Lee, NJ: Â I-95 and SR 4 near the George Washington Bridge
Chicago: I-294 at I-290/I-88
Houston: I-45 at I-69/US 59
Atlanta: I-285 at I-85 (North)
Nashville: I-24/I-40 at I-440 (East)
Atlanta: I-75 at I-285 (North)
Los Angeles: SR 60 at SR 57
Cincinnati: I-71 at I-75
Houston: I-10 at I-45
Atlanta: I-20 at I-285 (West)
