New York City commuters, be prepared for a traffic headache on Tuesday as gridlock alert is set to be in effect. The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) has announced that a gridlock alert will be issued for the city due to the highly anticipated World Cup match between the US men's national team and a yet to be determined opponent at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. The match is expected to draw a large number of fans to the stadium, with many likely to travel to the city afterwards to celebrate or commiserate. As a result, drivers can expect significant delays and congestion in the area, making public transportation a preferable option for those looking to avoid the chaos.
