...however, it overflows with 190,000 vehicles. Deemed one of the most congested highways in the U.S., the Artery boasts 10 hours of crawling traffic daily, an accident rate four times the national average and an estimated annual cost to motorists of over $5 million due to wasted fuel and wasted time. The current highway system also cuts off the North End and the waterfront from downtown Boston, destroying the economy of these neglected neighborhoods.
