Massachusetts Department of Transportation officials say the traffic peak will be from Tuesday morning until about mid-afternoon, which is why they've decided to shut down scheduled road construction until 5 a.m. Thursday.
Massachusetts State Police will also have an increased presence on the roads to crack down on distracted driving and assist any drivers in need.
Meanwhile, gas prices are down here in Massachusetts compared to the national average, hovering at just over $3.
