Officers stopped the car after it "swerved from side to side out of the lane of traffic" on the approach to the lower level tolls at 3:45 a.m. Sunday, the authority's Joseph Pentangelo said.
The driver, 50-year-old Paul Thompson of the Bronx failed a field sobriety test, losing his balance in the process, while failing to follow instructions, he said.
Thompson, whose eyes were bloodshot and smalled of alcohol, later refused to provide a breath sample, Pentangelo said.
His Beamer was impounded and he was arrested on various DWI-related charges before being released to a responsible adult.
