. . . three miles from work. This isn't going to be good for my bank balance. Lunch at Legal Seafood followed by Apple shopping.

Probably about 30 minutes. The Burlington Mall is near the intersection of 128 and 3 (north of the pike).
Boy the big dig must really have improved traffic in Boston, 'cause I could rarely get from Quincy to Boston proper in 30 minutes when I lived there, much less Burlington. ;)

Yahoo maps guesses 42 minutes, which seems like a more reasonable off-peak time.

30 minutes was a wild guess . . .

If I were making this trip, I'd get on 128 directly, and avoid the central artery altogether.

A friend of mine used to live in Quincy - I have to say, I think Quincy has the worst traffic in the entire Boston area. I hated driving in that town. Then she moved to Weymouth, so I had to drive all the way through Quincy to visit.

That's why I mainly took the T for 5 years. That stretch of the central artery through Dorchester where they installed the zipper lane was always a parking lot.

I don't think 128 around will be that much shorter, off-peak.
