Expect Route 146 Delays Near Worcester During Weekend Construction: MassDOT

MILLBURY, MA — Area drivers will be in for some delays this weekend near a busy exit off Route 146.

Starting Friday at 9 p.m., MassDOT will begin making repairs along a bridge that crosses railroad tracks near the exit to North Main Street — and the Shoppes At Blackstone Valley Plaza.

Through 5 a.m. Monday, a single lane will be closed along the northbound and southbound sides of the freeway where it crosses Providence and Worcester Railroad tracks.

"Delays are anticipated and drivers are encouraged to seek alternate routes," MassDOT said in a bulletin this week.

The work will also be weather-dependent. The forecast calls for a high chance of rain all day Saturday and Sunday, according to the National Weather Service.
