RANT: GWB traffic yesterday

What a day for traffic yesterday at the George Washington Bridge?

I went on the express lanes, which was unusual. (Not that it would have made a lot of difference.)

I couldn’t get traffic reports on 880 because of the Yankee game. Did catch any on any of the other stations. (Were they broadcasting any?)

None of those expensive message boards were lit up. How much did they cost us to put in and operate? Or in this case NOT operate!

Argh!

I sat without moving on Route 80 for 90 minutes. Without moving. OK a little bit. But I’ve never been mired in such traffic.

Wasted the better part of a day. Put me in a foul mood. And, no explanation. Argh!

Why?

The only guess I had was Homeland Security. That would account for the lack of information. Nothing was moving on any approach!

Argh!
