Pity WBUR’s Fred Thys, who just called in from I-93 in Medford, home of Massachusetts’ largest pot hole (map). Repair work is wreaking havoc on the afternoon commute. It took Fred two-and-a-half hours to get there from Storrow Drive – a trip that Google Maps estimates at 15 minutes.
“It’s hard to imagine how it could go any more slowly,” he said.
The Globe reports:
Expect a horrendous commute heading north from Boston today. … Three of the four lanes of the crucial artery are closed now. Officials are hoping only two lanes will be closed by this afternoon’s rush hour and only a single lane will be closed by tomorrow morning.
Just take the T. If you need help getting home, head over to WBUR’s traffic center.
