About Fort Lee Traffic Cameras
Fort Lee sits at the western terminus of the George Washington Bridge, which connects Bergen County, New Jersey to Washington Heights in Upper Manhattan. While crossing times can be under 10 minutes in light traffic, peak congestion can extend regional commutes significantly, with recent reports documenting travel times of over an hour for trips across the GWB into Manhattan. For commuters, truckers, and anyone traveling between New Jersey and New York City, real-time camera access in Fort Lee is not a convenience — it is a necessity.
I-95 is the backbone of Fort Lee's highway system. The interstate runs through the borough as part of the corridor connecting the New Jersey Turnpike to the George Washington Bridge. Northbound I-95 traffic heading to the bridge regularly backs up through Fort Lee during morning rush, while southbound delays build in the evening as Manhattan-bound workers return. The I-95/US-46 interchange on the western edge of Fort Lee is a frequent choke point, particularly when bridge-bound traffic spills onto local roads as drivers attempt to bypass the highway backups.
The George Washington Bridge itself operates with upper and lower decks, each carrying traffic in configurable directions depending on time of day. The Port Authority adjusts lane assignments to manage directional imbalances during rush hours, but even with these measures, delays of 30 to 60 minutes are routine during peak periods. Checking the GWB toll plaza cameras before committing to the crossing can save significant time — if the upper level is backed up past the Palisades Interstate Parkway merge, alternate crossings via the Lincoln Tunnel or Holland Tunnel may be faster despite the longer drive.
Check GWB Conditions Before You Cross
See live toll plaza queues, I-95 approach traffic, and bridge deck conditions in real-time. Avoid the worst delays by checking cameras first.
VIEW FORT LEE CAMERAS →The George Washington Bridge frequently implements contraflow lane configurations during peak hours. Upper level lanes shift direction based on demand, and lower level access may be restricted. Always verify current conditions via live cameras before approaching the bridge.
Key Routes Through Fort Lee
Lemoine Avenue is Fort Lee's primary north-south surface street, running parallel to the Palisades cliffs through the borough's commercial district. During GWB backups, drivers frequently divert onto Lemoine Avenue and other local streets like Main Street and Bridge Plaza, creating severe congestion in the downtown area. NJDOT cameras along these corridors provide visibility into the surface-street conditions that GPS navigation apps often fail to capture accurately.
US-46 (also known as Broad Avenue through Fort Lee) approaches from the west and feeds traffic toward the GWB via the I-95 interchange. This route serves as a secondary approach to the bridge for drivers coming from Hackensack, Teterboro, and points west in Bergen County. The intersection density along US-46 through Palisades Park and Fort Lee makes it particularly susceptible to signal-cycle delays when bridge traffic is heavy.
The Palisades Interstate Parkway begins at the George Washington Bridge and runs north through the Hudson River cliffs. While primarily used by commuters heading to Rockland County and points north, the Parkway's southern terminus merges directly into GWB approach traffic. Cameras along this corridor are valuable for monitoring both parkway conditions and the merge zone where Parkway traffic joins the I-95/GWB queue.
