Weekend Work to Cause Lane Closures on Rt. 128 in Needham

NEDHAM, MA — Prepare for possible delays if you are traveling through Needham on Route 128 South this weekend.

The state's department of transportation will be performing construction work from Friday night to early Sunday morning. From 10 p.m. Friday to 5 a.m. Sunday, MassDOT crews and contractors will be conducting operations to shift traffic into the new alignment and allow for future construction operations as part of the Add-A-Lane project.

MassDOT officials say to expect the following:

• During the daytime hours on May 20, there will be single-lane closures. Three lanes of travel will be maintained on Route 218 South in this area by utilizing the breakdown lane for travel.
• Three lanes of travel will then be restored by 5 a.m., on Sunday, May 21.

In case of inclement weather, these operations will be moved to the following weekend.

The work will take place north of Highland Avenue to just south of Kendrick Street.
