Boston’s 10 worst traffic bottlenecks around Thanksgiving, according to AAA
Thanksgiving is one of the busiest holiday travel stretches of the year, officials say.
AAA projects 50.9 million Americans will journey 50 miles or more from home this Thanksgiving, including approximately 1 million Massachusetts travelers.
“Thanksgiving has historically been one of the busiest holidays for road trips, and this year we could see record-level travel delays,” Bob Pishue, a transportation analyst at INRIX, said in a statement. “Knowing when and where congestion will build can help drivers avoid the stress of sitting in traffic.”
To help travelers plan their trip, AAA released its predictions for the 10 worst traffic bottlenecks in the Boston metro area during the Thanksgiving holiday stretch.
Here’s the full list of bottlenecks from Nov. 22-26, according to AAA:
