worcester (Boston: construction, commuting, area)

[Syngar99]

when i have to drive cross new england i go at night to avoid the traffic in worcester, who else knows what i am talking about?

Worcester traffic is nothing compared to Boston, but yes I-290 does tend to clog up during rush hours.

I can't imagine anyone thinking traffic in the Worcester area is so bad you'd need to travel at night to avoid it. It's not that big of a city. Boston out to 128 and at commuting times 495 yes, but not Worcester. That's just funny.

The only time 290 is really bad is like 7:30-9 in the morning, then 4-6 in the afternoon. The rest of the day I do not have much of a problem at all.

Though lately they have the night construction (repaving) between Central St. and the North Quinsig Bridge

i dunno i always seem to get caught with a slow person in front of me and one to my side, and they both skip along at just under the limit the whole length of city
