AUBURN, MA — MassDOT will close a Mass Pike interchange at 9 a.m. Wednesday for cleanup related to a truck crash, and drivers should expect delays across the Worcester area.

The closure will happen along the ramp to I-90 westbound from I-290, I-395 and Route 12. It's unclear how long the closure will last, but MassDOT workers will be in the area removing debris from the roadway.

"Drivers needing to access I-90 westbound will be diverted to use eastbound lanes to Interchange 94 to reverse direction," MassDOT said in an alert Wednesday morning.
