D.C. has worst-rated roads for Thanksgiving traffic

A new report has found that two of the nation’s most congested roads during Thanksgiving are in the Washington area — a revelation that likely came as no surprise to the region’s frazzled drivers. Claiming the top spot as the worst road during the holiday is the Interstate 95 corridor between Washington and New York City, according to information compiled by the Weather Channel.

Bad weather on this stretch of road often tangles up drivers during Thanksgiving week, the report noted. In 2006, a strong Nor’easter moved through the Southeast and mid-Atlantic two days before Thanksgiving, bringing damaging winds and coastal flooding and snarling holiday travel from the Carolinas to southern New England.
