Summary
45 minutes before the 9 p.m. kickoff, traffic on Route 1 was clearing as Gillette Stadium filled, though congestion persisted in the immediate stadium area.
MassDOT's 7:15 p.m. estimates still showed added travel time from across Greater Boston, including 18 extra minutes from Logan Airport and 14 minutes from the I-90/I-95 interchange in Weston.
Earlier in the evening, trips from Boston Common had stretched to about 1 hour, while Route 1 near the stadium turned "dark red" and I-95 also slowed as gates opened.
Foxborough kept major-event road closures and detours in place on local streets including North, Beach and Baker, while MBTA ran special match trains and officials urged fans to use transit because parking was limited.
