Bridge Beam Repairs Could Cause Delays in at I-95/Rt. 1 Interchange

Submitted by the MassDOT:

Beginning on Monday, Aug. 11 and continuing nightly through Friday, Aug. 15 either the two left lanes on I-95 southbound will be closed or the ramp from the Route 1 Connector (Route 129) to I-95 southbound and the first travel lane on I-95 southbound at the bridge will be closed between 7 p.m. and 5 a.m. to allow work crews to repair a bridge beam that was struck and damaged by an over height truck.

When the ramp from the Route 1 Connector (Route 129) to I-95 southbound and the first travel lane on I-95 southbound at the bridge are closed, traffic will be detoured to Route 1 southbound, then at Route 129 traffic will be directed to Route 1 northbound, and then to the ramp to I-95 southbound.

On I-95 Ramp B (Route 1 Connector (Route 129) to I-95 southbound), the travel lane will be reduced to 12 over the full length of the bridge over I-95.

MassDOT encourages drivers to seek alternate routes, to avoid delays. Drivers that must travel through the affected area should expect some delays and should reduce speed and use caution while approaching and traveling through the work zone.
