I-95 Shutdown in Philly

All I have to say is, if you travel by car/truck in the Philadelphia area today, have fun because traffic absolutely sucks. My normal 20 minute drive to work took me 1hr and 15 mins. All because 95 is shut down due to emergency repairs on a cracked support pillar. Everywhere you go in the city, traffic is at a standstill!

Gotta love traffic. I try to listen when the news is on in the mornings to see if any traffic is in my area from wrecks/construction.

Even with listening to the traffic report, your screwed haha. Everything is at a standstill. 3 miles both North and South on 95 are closed, I can't wait for the drive home.

Whew that had to suck. Everytime I get caught in traffic in ATL, GA I swear a little. But I'm used to traffic. Having a auto is A LOT better though and my left leg doesn't get cramps.
