Traffic building for long July Fourth holiday weekend

If you’re reading this from your home or your office, you waited too long.

Volume is increasing on Boston-area highways ahead of a long July Fourth holiday weekend. It gets worse as you head toward Cape Cod, where miles-long backups approaching the Sagamore and Bourne bridges were reported early Friday afternoon.

Traffic is slowing in both directions of the Southeast Expressway.  There are also increasing slowdowns on I-93 nothbound between Boston and the Route 128 cloverleaf.

Route 128 northbound is slow approaching I-93 in Woburn.

Traffic is expected to be heavy into the evening.
