Peabody/Lynnfield Route 95 Ramp Closures Set To Last 4 Months

PEABODY, MA — Overnight lane and ramp closures on Route 95 northbound and southbound from the Lynnfield/Wakefield line to Peabody are set to begin Sunday and last through July.

The ramp and lane closures will occur on a rolling basis between mile markers 61 and 66 to accommodate milling and paving work. Work will begin at 8 p.m. each night and conclude at about 5 a.m.

Friday night work is possible to make up for potential weather delays.

Some operations may require temporary ramp closures with signed detours set in place.

The state Department of Transportation said the temporary lane and ramp closures are necessary to allow the contractor to safely and effectively perform pavement milling, resurfacing and other items of work.

Safety signs, traffic control devices and police details will be used to guide drivers through the work zone.

Drivers traveling through the affected areas should expect delays, reduce speed, and use caution.

All scheduled work is weather-dependent and subject to change without notice.

The work is being conducted as part of an $8.1 million project to resurface and perform related work along approximately 5.5 miles of roadway on this section of I-95.
