Danvers Daytime Route 128 Ramp Closed Monday, Tuesday

DANVERS, MA — The Exit 44 off-ramp from Route 128 South to Conant Street in Danvers will be closed on Monday and Tuesday because of road construction on Conant Street.

The state Department of Transportation said the ramp will be closed from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. on both days.

The on-ramp will remain open.

The Danvers Department of Public Works is beginning a two-week milling and paving project on Conant Street. The Danvers Department of Public Works is asking residents to seek alternate routes and avoid the area, if possible.

A detour will be in effect during the duration of the construction. Impacted traffic will be detoured to exit 43 and to Route 62 westbound to be re-directed back to Conant Street.

The schedule for this work is weather dependent and subject to change without notice.

Drivers who are traveling through the area should reduce speed and use caution.

Those with questions on the project are encouraged to call the DPW office at 978-777-0001 Ext. 3011.
