Rte. 93

Sinkhole causes backup almost as long as the time they shut 128 at rush hour for Cheney

Large sinkhole on I-93 north in Andover; didn't swallow any cars, but did create a 20-mile backup - into Somerville.

Driving by a dead guy in the middle of the road

Carpundit is pretty sure the guy at the Braintree split was dead because you don't lie with your nose pressed into the pavement in the middle of a highway (the Globe has a brief about the fatality today, but it doesn't seem to be online).

IKEA ate his car

Jason's been trying to avoid the 93/24 interchange ever since the Swedish Meatball place opened up, but the other day, he couldn't avoid it:

... Well, a 60-something lady on her way to Ikea in her mid-90's Chevy Suburban SUV wasn't paying attention and slammed into a Honda Accord, pushing it into the rear end of my Magnum. The Honda was pretty well squished, but the Magnum came out fairly ok; some scratches, some indentations in the bumper fascia, and apparently some internal damage as the whole rear end of the car shakes and rattles now. ...

Why I love Massachusetts highways

The kidlet and I drove down to Braintree today to get a new camera (read all about why I told her to kick me the next time I propose going to a CompUSA). We were in Dedham, which meant we needed to head north, so naturally we got on Rte. 128 south. We were supposed to get off at Exit 17 on 93. We passed Exit 13. Oh, good, we're getting close. The next exit? Exit 2A, of course. We found the place anyway.
