Washington – According to a list published by the American Transportation Research Institute (ATRI), all states bordering Kentucky except West Virginia include the nation’s top 100 truck traffic chokepoints, followed by Tennessee and Illinois. There are also multiple locations in the state.
While Kentucky doesn’t have a top 100 traffic hazard in the nation, it does rank with Ohio as the 14th worst spot where Interstates 75 and 71 intersect. This is due to the long-frustrated use of the Brent Spence Bridge from I-75 to I-71 in Kentucky, as the legal state border between Ohio and Kentucky is on the north bank of the Ohio River. It’s nonsense for people.
A multibillion-dollar project to save the Brent Spence River is now moving forward with $1.6 billion in federal funding from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Act of 2022.
Since 2002, ATRI has collected and processed truck GPS data in support of numerous federal and state freight mobility initiatives. ATRI develops and monitors a set of key performance indicators for the country’s freight transportation system. Among numerous GPS analyses, ATRI transforms truck GPS datasets into continuous truck bottleneck analysis to quantify the impact of traffic congestion on trucked freight at more than 325 specific locations. I’m using. While other external analyzes may identify congested corridors, no currently available dataset specifically identifies detailed chokepoints in the nation’s truck freight transportation system.
Measuring the performance of freight transportation on our nation’s highways is critical to understanding where and at what level to invest. The information provided through this study will help stakeholders in both the private and public sectors better understand how congestion and delays limit mobility in the U.S. highway transportation system. support decision-making. ATRI’s annual Bottleneck List provides a clear roadmap to guide investment decisions as countries leverage infrastructure investment and jobs legislation to address supply chain challenges.
ATRI’s bottleneck analysis includes several unique tools, including a large database of truck GPS data in critical freight transportation locations across the United States and a speed/volume algorithm that quantifies the impact of congestion on truck-based freight. components are included and integrated. Additionally, the annual report provides a time-series repository of mobility profiles, allowing changes in congestion to be assessed over time. This allows both transportation analysts and planners to benchmark performance and identify influential factors contributing to congestion and the necessary impact on freight movement.
