BOSTON (AP) - Massachusetts transportation officials say a traffic back-up that stretched 15 miles on Interstate 90 has cleared up.
A spokeswoman for the state’s transportation department said on Twitter that heavy traffic Tuesday afternoon was tying up I-90 westbound at an interchange with Interstate 84 in central Massachusetts.
That section of I-90 near the town of Sturbridge often sees heavy traffic during periods known for heavy travel, including the holiday season.
