Summary
Route 17 through Paramus just snagged the 5 spot on America’s most frustrating roads — and it’s the only New Jersey road on the list. Congestion is brutal, with jughandles, shopping centers, and commuter chaos making drivers go nuts. The state DOT confirms it’s in the top 2% for traffic jams, and a new Costco approval only fuels the anger. After years of studies and delays, a $150–200 million upgrade plan is finally moving forward, with construction set to begin in 2031 — just in time to hopefully breathe a little easier.
