Evening Commuter Exodus out of Boston to the North of the Fitzgerald Expressway. This traffic soon is to hit a bottleneck in the Charles River- North Station area that will stall it way back into downtown for nearly an hour. The jam is caused by the reduction of the expressway from the three lanes shown here to two. Note sparse travel on southbound lane at this point at this hour.
