This morning’s ride was a tough one on Route 3 south of town. Water leaked from the Washington Street overpass in Quincy onto the highway below. The running water froze on contact with the pavement and created a very icy patch. Also, large icicles formed on the overpass above.  As a result, the right lane was closed on Route 3 Northbound at Washington Street until about 6:30 AM to prevent accidents. Traffic was jammed from Route 228 in Rockland for a time, but once the lane restriction was lifted, we had the usual delays from Derby Street to Union Street for the rest of the morning.

Route 93 South was very heavy from Commerce Way to the Lower Deck for most of the morning because of two accidents: one at the Hood Plant and the other at Sullivan Square.

Other than that, it was not a bad ride.
