New Pike On-Ramp To 128/95 Opens Tonight

WESTON, MA — A new on-ramp in Weston for vehicles traveling from the Pike westbound to Route 128/I-95 north and southbound is opening tonight. The ramp is part of the work to reconstruct the interchange where the toll plazas used to be.

MassDOT will also close the off-ramp from I-90 West onto Park Road and South Avenue/Route 30 West beginning tonight for approximately one week. (Subscribe to Weston Patch and like us on Facebook for more local news and alerts.)

"We are pleased to reach this milestone in rebuilding the Weston interchange," said Acting Highway Administrator Jonathan Gulliver. "Drivers should be aware that as of Friday night there will be a new path of travel in certain directions at the Weston interchange and should also be mindful of the detour route as the off-ramp from I-90 westbound to local roadways will be closed for one week."

The new ramp will allow for for space for traffic to merge onto Route 129/I-95 and "create a safer connection between the two major interstates," MassDOT said in a release. There will be appropriate signage.

For those looking to access Park Road and Route 30/South Avenue westbound from I-90 westbound:
