New I-93 Northbound Onramp Opens Saturday for Methuen Rotary Project

The MassDOT announced that a new ramp on the Methuen Rotary Project will open on Saturday.

The new I-93 northbound onramp is about 400 feet east of the current ramp.

New Traffic Patterns to I-93 Northbound On-Ramp Effective July 30:

From the east: Motorists enter new on-ramp 400 feet east of current on-ramp.

From the west: Motorists exit Rotary and travel east 400 feet to new signalized intersection. Turn left to new on-ramp.

A new signal will be installed to allow traffic from the west on Route 110/113 to safely turn left to the on-ramp. Variable Message Signs will be positioned on Route 110 and Route 113 east and west of the interchange to alert drivers to the new on-ramp.

According to the MassDOT, “the opening of the new onramp is the first of several significant traffic flow modifications that will be completed as MassDOT’s contractor, E. T. & L. Corp., begins work on Stage 3A of the project.

As part of stage 3A, crews will replace the existing rotary with a new Route 110/113 and begin demolition of the existing rotary bridges. Noise barrier construction and associated landscaping will also be completed by the end of July.”

The project is currently on schedule to meet the spring 2018 completion date.
