Route 128 Traffic: 2 Lanes Closed

A crash on Route 128 South just before Exit 38B has closed the two left lanes, mucking up an already rough evening commute home. (Trust us, a Patch editor is among those stuck.)

The traffic is bad both ways right now. The crash is clogging traffic something awful back to Exit 44 in Peabody. There are no reported crashes northbound, but that's backed up from Route 3 to Walnut Street in Lynnfield.

Here is what Google Maps looks like at 5:40 p.m.
