If the end to a long holiday weekend and murky skies weren’t enough to dampen the mood, major traffic and airport delays in North Jersey were making a mess for driving and flying late Sunday, Nov. 30, as Thanksgiving weekend travelers headed back to New York City, Long Island and New England.

The worst of the traffic problems were the approach to the George Washington Bridge in Bergen County and the tunnels into Manhattan from North Jersey.

Traveling the 9 miles on the New Jersey Turnpike northbound from the American Dream mall to the George Washington Bridge was taking 55 minutes around 4 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 30, according to the 511nj.org website.

That was only exacerbated as fans left MetLife Stadium after the New York Jets victory over the Atlanta Falcons.

There were also heavy delays on the Route 46 approach to the George Washington.

And then crossing the George Washington into Manhattan was taking another 39 minutes on the upper level and 42 minutes on the lower level, according to the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey website.

Travel time through the Lincoln Tunnel into Manhattan was 40 minutes at around 4 p.m. Sunday, while travel to New Jersey was 8 minutes, according to the Port Authority.

It was even worse for those traveling into lower Manhattan using the Holland Tunnel. Travel time through the tunnel was 61 minutes headed into Manhattan, but only 13 headed to New Jersey.

There were also delays on the Goethals Bridge — 15 minutes to cross to New York — and the Outerbridge Crossing, with 18 minutes to cross to New York.

Delays, cancelations at New York area airports

Meanwhile, trying to get home to New Jersey via Newark Liberty International has been complicated by delays caused by wind. Inbound flights to Newark were facing delays of nearly two hours around 4 p.m. Sunday at their airport of origin, according to FlightAware. Over the past 24 hours, Newark travelers have had to absorb 32 flight cancellations.

LaGuardia departures were experiencing delays of up to an hour and climbing due to volume, according to Flight Aware, with 41 flights canceled in the past 24 hours.

John F. Kennedy International Airport has experienced 81 canceled flights in the past 24 hours.
