Indeed, it's ridiculous. 
  
Took me over 3 hours to travel the 7 miles home from the office last Tuesday. 
  
And this morning, during rush hour on the first decent thaw day when everyone is retunring to work some muppet decided it was a good time to set up rolling road closures to transport a wide load. So a 2 hour journey for the same 7 miles in reverse. 
  
Morons.
