Flyover, Just Not Flyin' With Fire & Police

Taking Route 3 back to school is not a chore anymore; with the new “flyover” it’s almost fun. Almost.

The new $59 million flyover at the Sagamore Bridge replaced the old Sagamore Rotary and has been doing a decent job loosening up traffic to and from the Cape for commuters. But public safety officials are not as pleased with its performance.

The Police and Fire Departments are concerned with speeding on the bridge and the flyover. Both are skeptical and feel that the new traffic design could increase response times during busy travel hours, in the mornings and in the early evenings.

But could response times actually be longer than when the chronically backed-up rotary existed? I really doubt it.
