The commute was very problematic north and west of Boston this morning. Routes 495, 95, 93, 3 and 2 saw many spinouts, accidents and rollovers. The most serious incident shut down Route 495 North at Route 111 in Boxboro for around 90 minutes after a tandem tractor trailer unit rolled over at about 7 AM. This was a very serious crash, and as of this writing, is still on scene. State Police opened up one left lane by 8:30 AM, but the right lanes remain closed and we are reporting a standstill of traffic that stretches back to Route 62, a delay of at least seven miles.
Coming down from New Hampshire also took longer than usual, as the heavy snowfall stayed to the north.
Major routes leading into Downtown Boston were fine. We did not report any major problems south of the Pike, though the roads were wet and speeds were slower than usual.
