Driving out of Boston on Thursday B4 Good Friday

Hi there,

We%26#39;re in Boston now and LOVING IT! Such a gorgeous place and we had lovely weather yesterday to enjoy our first day here.

We were thinking of driving out of Boston on Thursday and was wondering, with Friday being Good friday, is traffic going to be particularly heavy going out of Boston in the morning and coming in on Thursday evening.

Please advise.

Many thanks for your help in advance.

Just a guess on my part:

Most people who work in businesses other than those tied to the stock exchange or some government offices do not get Good Friday off. It%26#39;s my guess that many more people will ';skip out'; early on Friday than take the entire day off, making the Friday commute the worse of the two days.

Thank you very much for your response! :) Looks like its ok to drive then on Thursday if you guess is correct.

Except for schools (and not even all public schools), Good Friday is not a big ';day off'; holiday in the U.S. Most businesses are open as usual. I think in England you might even get Easter Monday off? Not here.

Thanks everyone for your help.

Very useful info.

Cheers.
