Post-Superbowl "Moan-Day" traffic
Posted by: Anonymous on February 5, 2007 at 11:45AM EST


Wow, it is cold out there today.  So cold, in fact, that many travelers decided not to participate in the morning commute!  The post-Superbowl Monday commute is often very light, as many people stay up late and have a difficult time feeling motivated to get to work on time Monday morning.  Add to that the frigid weather, and there's really no good reason to leave the house!

Well, Pats fans, look on the bright side.  At least we don't have to deal with Boston road closings associated with a post-Superbowl parade, right?  It's way too cold to stand outside and cheer for the team anyway.  Feel better?  No, I don't, either! 

As expected, we saw our share of cold weather-related "brrr-eakdowns" today.  That will likely be the theme for this entire week, as it's not expected to get any warmer for a while.  Even the MBTA's commuter rail was affected by the freezing temps and reported 10 to 60 minute delays on a few lines.  

So, what were your plans today?  Did you stay home or go to work late?

I do not understand why you refer to the portion of Highway between Westwood and Braintree as Route 128. Route 128 now ends at the Railroad Staion in Weswood. The road that continues onto Braintree is really I-93, NOT Route 128.
The sign in front of the RR station states "Route 128 Ends Here" The sign on the Northbound side states "Route 128 Begins"
In fact, there are no signs indicating Route 128 between Westwood and Braintree.
Your Trafic Reports lack credability whenever I-93 is referred to as Route 128.
