As of August 5th, expect delays at the GW Bridge.
The George Washington Bridge is undergoing a multi-million dollar renovation project to repair the
aging upper level. Nighttime work has most lanes of upper roadway completely
closed.
This week, Jersey bound lanes will be closed from 11 pm to 5 am, and
starting next week inbound lanes will be closed at the same times. As usual,
residual morning delays may occur until 6-7 am. They will adjust lane closures
accordingly with Yankee games.
What does this mean? At night, the CBX Westbound / 95 N is going to
be a nightmare . The Deegan will be slightly better. After next week, expect
inbound delays of up to an hour. Lower level recommended if you have to take
the bridge. Upper Manhattan is going to suck for the rest of the month.
My suggested night time route is to take one of the tunnels from in
town, or the Verrazano / Goethells combo if coming from the south. For all other times of day, my advice remains to always default to the lower level unless you hear reports of massive Deegan delays or a Yankee game.
