Gone are the days when it’s easy to fly over the Bourne or Sagamore Bridges and into Falmouth. Travel is busy on main streets and backroads right into the evening hours. It’s not uncommon to see traffic backed up a half mile on MacArthur Blvd. approaching the rotary towards the Bourne Bridge to exit Cape Cod.
