WBZ's Traffic on the Threes just reported that Storrow Drive westbound is now backed up all the way to 93. The reporter said it's probably because of all the students moving in and, oh, yeah, the work crews in the righthand lane between Dartmouth and Mass. Ave.

Still no word of a sardine-canning, though.

Dave Alpert discusses douche lanes - lanes on local roads that are full of douchebag motorists, such as the far right lane at "the end of Storrow Drive - where it forks into Soldier's Field Road and the bridge over to Fresh Pond Parkway." But he wonders: Do the roads turn people into Massholes or are Massholes just naturally attracted to them?

Rob Sama reports that recent changes to Storrow Drive westbound at the Fenway/Kenmore exits have turned the road into "a veritable parking lot during rush hours." He posts a copy of a letter to his state rep.

This just in from Matthew Soleyn:

Some idiot in a tractor-trailer truck ignored "CARS ONLY" & "LOW CLEARANCE" signs &hit the Arthur Fielder Footbridge on Storrow Drive West.

Interesting photo.

The Esplanade just gets in the way of Storrow Drive.

Roving traffic reporter John Keith alerts us that a truck driver just narrowly avoided turning his vehicle into a peeled-back sardine can just before Mass. General; is now in the process of backing up to the Copley exit.

Yesterday:
Another trucker was not so lucky.

Anybody know anything about a truck that sardine-canned on the eastbound side at the tunnel?

WBZ tweets it's already clear.

Sure, Cosmo Catalano couldn't get on Storrow Drive today, but at least he could appreciate the sweep of the Yankees.
