A release from the Massachusetts Department of Transportation:

READING, Ma. - The Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) has announced that overnight lane closures on Route 28 (Main Street) in Reading will begin on Sunday and continue during overnight hours only through Friday, Sept. 27.

These lane closures will be in place each evening from 8 p.m., through 5 a.m., the following morning, and will allow crews to safely and effectively conduct paving operations. A minimum of one lane of travel in each direction will remain open at all times.
