I took the turnpike to the airport Monday afternoon. The traffic was stop and go around the 561 construction. Later on we saw an accident with a construction vehicle on the north bound side. The traffic was just beginning to build in the accident area. There was also much more construction further south. On the way back I decided to avoid the turnpike entirely. I got off the beach line 528 at I4 west and took 27 north which eventually turns into 441 all the way. Normally the turnpike ride, with no traffic, takes me about 1-1/2 hours. With the accident site I know I would have been tied up much longer and then have the 561 area to put up with. I made it back in 1-3/4 hours and I saved some tolls.
