Just as an FYI, for those of you who are not familiar with the traffic patterns in and around Boston: This is going to be a disaster. The traffic going into the city from NH pretty much all comes down I-93; shutting it down will cause horrible overloads on the other interstate going around Boston--Rt95/128.
As an example, ten years ago it would take me an hour and a half to go about 20 miles--bumper to bumber. Literally, you would be driving two to three feet away from other cars--all going 50+ MPH with no room on any side.
For those of you on the west coast, think about the freeways of LA, but about five times worse. And then think about shutting down the PRIMARY freeway during the heavy tourist season. You see, there are OTHER things going on in New England during the middle of the summer!
Nightmare does not come close to describing what this mess is going to be like.

Nightmare does not come close to describing what this mess is going to be like. Hell, the commute on the day of the Pats' victory celebration was a nightmare. This is going to be the biggest mistake Mumbles ever made.
