Today's traffic volume was very light, as expected.  Despite the heavy rain, traffic flowed pretty well.  Route 128 North looked like a typical Monday, however.  A four car accident at Highland Avenue in Needham backed up traffic to East Street.  At worst, it took commuters about 45 minutes to get through the congestion.  Once the crash was cleared, however, the backups eased within an hour or so. 

The ride from New Hampshire into Northern Massachusetts was a bit tricky, as sleet and freezing rain was reported.  However, motorists wisely kept their speeds down, and we did not report any accidents on Route 95, 93 or Route 3 on the NH/MA border.

Additionally, the connector tunnel opened on the Pike East this weekend.  The volume of traffic was very light today and we reported no issues.  Keep in mind that the exit from the Northbound Expressway to the Pike East (Exit 20) remains closed.  If you need to travel to the airport from the Expressway North, you must use Exit 18 for Mass.
