WORCESTER, MA — With spring construction season in full swing in Massachusetts, MassDOT projects at two main Worcester-area exits will mean closures every night this week.

The work will take place nightly starting around 9 p.m. and ending the next day at 5 a.m. Here's what to watch out for in the Worcester area, according to a MassDOT bulletin:

At the I-90 bridge at exit 12 in Auburn Sunday to Thursday, 9 a.m. to 5 a.m. the following day:

• When the I-90 ramp to I-395 southbound and I-290 eastbound is closed, traffic will be directed to follow the detour signage to Route 12 southbound in order to access both I-395 southbound and I-290 eastbound.

• When the I-290 westbound off-ramps to I-90 (exit 12A) and Route 12 (exit 12B) are closed, traffic will be directed to take exit 11A (Route 20 eastbound Shrewsbury) and follow the detour signs on to I-290 eastbound, then use exit 12 to Route 12 southbound to the I-90 on-ramp.

• When traveling along Route 12 northbound, traffic will be detoured right onto Prospect Street and will need to follow the detour signs in place.
