The Upper deck of I-93 leads drivers out of Boston away from the TD Banknorth Garden (The Gahdin) where the Bruins play... The split that the driver fails to see coming leads drivers either further north towards Somerville and Medford (Medfid), or one can loop left down into the worst traffic nightmare imaginable.

The stop-and go line of traffic to get to that spot on workdays starts about 35 miles north of this location in New Hampshire about exit 3 near Canobie Lake Park at this time of the morning. Boston's Rt. 93. This spot is famous in a way. paid, and are still paying, a $15 billion price tag to submerge the upper and lower decks through Boston to beautify the city. Traffic flow was not helped by the project, as the roadway was increased from three lanes to three (not a typo) in a brilliant moment of foresight by city planners. Source: www.torquenews.com
