Yes, this! We live very close to the 301 turnpike on-ramp but have had to use the 470 on-ramp further south to avoid most of this backup for a few weeks now if we’re heading anywhere in that direction. It’s a daily backup until that sinkhole has been resolved. If we’re traveling early enough (up to 8-9 am) there’s no backup yet, or it’s just beginning so not too bad yet.
