Turnpike-495 Traffic Mess
Did anyone else get messed up by this FUBAR? 
I was onm the way to Marlboro with a friend on the pike to avoid Worcester's construction mess. We saw brake lights and traffic stopping about a quarter mile ahead of us between the Westboro rest area and the 495 exit. We sat in his Taurus (nowhere near as comfortable as our seats) for an hour. We were then sent through emergency vehicle pass through to head back west. We got where we needed to be, eventually. Coming home wasn't much better, it took an hour to get from the old Mass Mutual to Auburn and we wound up taking Rt. 20 to Sturbridge. Traffic was backed up from the Mall to the exit ramp and barely moving.
