    down by the 495/24 area there is a lot of construction to, I do one run to easton MA and last friday night it sucked with the construction and the concert in mansfield traffic.

    I started driving in boston/cambridge with a pup trailer peddleing some of which was on the tiny side streets I had to go to, nice part was I could spin the trailer in most any intersection, where I currently run to in easton you have to litterally drop your landing gear and drag them into the dock, crawl under the trailer to pull the pin, and dump the suspention to unhook.

    Probably too late but why get on 495 then. 95 to 90 works just as well. I was coming out of NH a couple weeks ago, saw traffic was jammed up on my iPhone, and went 95 to 90.There's almost always a way around something, and this is pure interstate.

    128????? That's just as bad. And the east end of 90 can be a parking lot.
    The problem is there is no pattern of traffic. You're just as likely to end up in a mess at noontime as at one in the morning.
    Fortunately I usually only have to deal with it twice a week; once to get out of New England and once on the way back in.
