8:30 PM Traffic Becoming a Norm for Northbound I-95 Travellers due to Beachside Avenue Construction

Traffic was brought to a screeching halt tonight just after 8:30 PM, which is when State Police purposely slow the traffic in order to protect the single-lane highway transition just past exit 18. The traffic is no longer a new experience, as most weeknights this is the case for drivers making their way northbound after the 8 o’clock hour. Traffic downtown and on Route 1 quickly picked up at the usually quiet period of time in an attempt to bypass the construction.
