Memorial Day Live Traffic In MA: Severe Backups Building

It's officially the worst time to leave for the holiday weekend. See how bad the trip looks in these live maps.

Memorial Day weekend getaway traffic is getting into gear. From 4:30 p.m. until 6:30 p.m. is expected to be the very worst time to get on the roads this weekend.

This shouldn't come as any surprise for the anyone who has ever driven through Boston on the commute home, but it's particularly bad on I-93 in and around the city. There are severe backups building on I-95, I-495, the Mass Pike, Route 3, Route 9, and more.

We pulled Mapquest live traffic maps for several areas around the state. All you have to do to view live traffic conditions in each region is:
