Grand Central Parkway congestion

The Grand Central Parkway was slick from heavy morning rain near LaGuardia as police closed off Exit 7, a main ramp to the airport. Traffic in the right lane was at a crawl approaching Exit 5, where some vehicles were being allowed to get off.

Police vehicles, their lights flashing in the pre-dawn darkness, and orange cones barred the normal path into the airport. The outer lanes of the Grand Central were moving normally around the tie-up around 5:30 a.m.
