    I was surprised it was not worse on the South Park Bridge last night.  I thought a lot more cars would start using it.  I saw no difference than I do normally.

    The lane closures did not happen on the 1st ave bridge until later in the evening.  When I drove over at 5pm,  it was normal.  Not surprised the South Park bridge was ok.  Tonight might be a different story as I see the lanes are finally closed.

      Yeah, it was a cluster tonight. Hour and a half from stadiums to south end of bridge. 1st Ave was jammed with 2 accidents,  4th ave packed. Looks like it’s the beacon hill route tomorrow evening. 

Sorry, comment time is over.
