Nighttime Road Closures at the Water Street Bridge in Danvers

Nighttime road closures at the Water Street Bridge will continue through Thursday night, June 12.

The roadway will be closed at 10 p.m., and reopen at approximately 5 a.m., according to the Massachusetts Department of Transportation.

The roadway will remain open to emergency vehicles.

The work at night is part of the Phase 2 east side construction of the new bridge.

Traffic in this area will be detoured as follows:

Traffic traveling west on Route 114 from Salem will turn left at the intersection of Gardner Street (Route 114 West), turn left onto Pulaski Street, right onto Andover Street (Route 114 West), enter Route 128 North, proceed north to Exit 24 (Endicott Street), left on Endicott Street eastbound back to Water Street.

Traffic traveling south on Water Street will be directed to turn right onto Endicott Street westbound, enter Route 128 South, proceed south to Exit 25A (Route 114 East), turn left on Pulaski Street and continue to Water street.

MassDOT has coordinated this change with local officials and emergency services from the surrounding communities. Appropriate measures are in place to allow the work activities to be suspended in the event of an emergency.

MassDOT encourages drivers to seek alternate routes, if possible, to avoid delays. Drivers that must travel through the affected area should expect delays and should reduce speed and use caution while approaching and traveling through this area.

The work is part of a $6 million project to reconstruct the Waters River Bridge.
