Trucks Entering Terminal Gates.jpgNot much of surprise here, but the horrendous 710-105 freeway interchange has taken the dubious honor of being named America's worst trucking bottleneck, according to a new study.

The American Transportation Research Institute also names the 405-605 freeway interchange in its list of the top 10 most congested bottlenecks. Both interchanges are fed by truck traffic from the port.

Rounding out the top ten are intersections in the San Gabriel Valley, Oakland, Chicago, Arizona, Georgia and Tennessee.
