MassDOT Warns of Major Holiday Traffic Ahead of Fourth of July Weekend—Peak Congestion Expected Friday Midday

If you’re heading out of town for the long Fourth of July weekend, MassDOT says pack your “patience hat”. They are expecting heavy traffic this afternoon and evening, tomorrow afternoon and evening, and the worst on Friday midday and afternoon. They are also expecting it to be busy on Saturday morning and Sunday morning and afternoon.  They strongly suggest looking at some “real-time” travel tools such as www.mass511.com. And if you are taking a train, check the holiday schedules.
