traffic on a weekday morning--time to LGA?

opossumqueen · August 2008

I need to be at LGA around 8:45am on Thursday. I've never been in a car at this time so I was wondering if traffic is hectic enough to slow down at that time, on average?

I'm taking a cab and I would just go really early, but I'd rather let the dog have a few extra minutes at off-leash time. I think it usually takes about 15-20 minutes to get from my place (near GAP) to the airport in the wee hours of the morning.

I'd give it at least 45 minutes. I've had it take around at 7:30am on a weekday from Park Slope (so a bit farther but also earlier.)

I agree with Carmen. Anytime I've had to get to LGA on a weekday morning during rush hour its always taken about 45 minutes (either because the driver went through traffic or because the driver took a longer route to avoid traffic).

Go at 8 if not 7:45, you're probably going to hit a lot of traffic before the Kosciuszko Bridge empties out on the Queens side. Then you have to deal with the construction before the LGA exit on the BQE.

Subject: Alternatively, take the dreaded G train to LIC

If you are near the G train, take it to Long Island City and get a cab from there. It will take about 15 mins from Court Square to LGA and cost less.
