God, I wish it would hurry up. Both bridges are more of a nightmare than usual on weekends. I started taking the TriBoro again when I go to my mom's on Sundays because it would take me an hour to get over the Whitestone.
Have you seen FB posts about the TN Expressway entrance? 45 minutes to get into Locist Point from the overpass. I'd lose my damn mind. I think it's supposed to be finished in December.

i have not seen lines like this at the whitestone and tn since the 1990's pre ez-pass. they destroyed travel this summer .

Oh ****! Isn't that entrance to the TN closed on weekends? Assuming you're talking about the overpass by the gas station.
Even though I'm much closer to the TriBoro, when I first moved to Astoria, I decided that I preferred the Whitestone. I haven't taken it to the Bronx on a Sunday in months. It's not as bad as it was going home (but even then, at 9pm on a Sunday evening, it could sometimes take me an hour to get over the bridge).

Yup, they've been opening it up to "help traffic flow" M-F during the hours it's normally closed. Um, no not really.
I have a cousin in Fresh Meadows and I routinely take the Whitestone even though the TN route is faster (on an average ) when I go for a visit. And despite the fact the TN leaves me a couple blocks from "home" when going to my parents'. The TN just sucks in general imo.
I recently drove past the Whitestone Bridge tolls, and there were four (!) ez-pass lanes to my left with the gates down...all said "low balance". What a back-up! These cashless tolls are better, IMHO.
those are problems from old tags, the new ones are better

You're in for a rude awakening because when the toll plaza gets removed the traffic will be WORSE. With the toll booths you have easy escape lanes through EZ-Pass only, even if you have to slow down a little. Without the EZPass-only lanes the stupid crowd is free to clog up ALL lanes. That's what happened at the Triboro, now the bad drivers infected the whole span and you're jammed the whole way through
Hah. I did that soon after I moved here. My girlfriend was super late getting ready to go to LaGuardia (as per usual), so I said **** it and drove in the EZ pass lane, assuming that I would get a toll by mail (which happened once in MA). Nope, the stupid gate blocked me.
(Don't worry, I got an EZ pass within the next month or so.)

Lmao, you are exactly the person that the OP started the thread over.
