Bumper-to-bumper traffic could be seen on the eastbound lanes due to lane closures early Thursday morning.
Commuters can try and get around the traffic by hopping on Route 9 or Route 20, or taking the Worcester/Framingham MBTA line.
The lane reductions began on Friday as part of the Commonwealth Avenue Bridge replacement project.
