Wikipedia has timeline of the Christiebridgegate. Please note this statement by CC on 12/13/13

He also expressed skepticism about the importance of the lanes to the town, "I didn’t know Fort Lee got three dedicated lanes until all this stuff happened, and I think we should review that entire policy because I don’t know why Fort Lee needs three dedicated lanes to tell you the truth." [19]

All he has to do is say that the "traffic study" was to determine if Fort Lee needed three dedicated lanes and that is why they coned off two of the three.

Well the results were overwhelming. Not having the three lanes snarled traffic and caused the gridlock of what we now know as 'Bridgegate".

So I - the great Crisp Chrispy - as the Guv - am proposing that we dedicate an additional lane to Fort Lee. See - problem solved. I am the greatest and when I become the president I will end the gridlock in Congress.

!!!! sarcasm!!!!!
