As vacationers prepare to visit Cape Cod for the weekend, traffic getting across the bridges is backed up several miles.

If you're heading over the Sagamore Bridge, there is about a 2.5-mile backup with a car crash on Route 3 South leading up to the bridge just at 1 p.m. Friday afternoon. Google Maps said the delay is about 15 minutes.

Over at the Bourne Bridge, Google Maps shows there is about a 2.8-mile backup of cars, with delays of up to 15 minutes being reported.

Tourists coming onto the Cape for the weekend will be greeted with some of the best weather of the summer, with a high of 81 degrees on Saturday and high of 77 on Sunday for Hyannis with sunny weather expected for most of the weekend, according to the National Weather Service in Boston. There is a 30 percent chance of rain for Saturday afternoon. The lows will be 63 and 67 degrees for Saturday and Sunday, respectively.
