Police: Route 9 Detour Wednesday at 11 p.m.

A portion of Route 9 east will be closed in Framingham Wednesday night, Jan 27 starting about 11 p.m.

Motorists will be detoured onto Main Street, to Walnut Street, to Warren Road, onto Oaks Road and back onto Route 9 east, for about one hour.

The closure and detour is necessary so Framingham Police and Massachusetts State Police can continue their investigation into last week’s fatal pedestrian crash.

Motorists are encouraged to seek alternative routes during this period and use extra caution and awareness for public safety and public works personnel on detoured streets, and when driving in the area of the investigation, said Framingham Police Lt. Stephen Cronin.
