What is going on at Roxbury heading to the 1st ave bridge this am at 7 am backed up & at a standstll at 15th? Barely moving. Accident?

Thank you. I turned at 8th and went over to 116th and came into work the back way on the South Park bridge. It is bad on Roxbury. I even asked a girl walking if she saw anything she said no but that she knew she was going to be late for work. Thanks WSB I knew you would find out what was going on.
