AUBURN, MA — Drivers headed to the Mass Pike from Worcester will encounter nightly detours this week.

A bridge repair project along I-90 in Auburn kicked off Sunday night, which will mean the closure of exit 12A during construction hours. The exit will be closed each night from 9 p.m. until 4 a.m. the next day through Friday.

During the closure, drivers will detour via exit 12B. From there, drivers will be able to take Route 12 to access the eastbound and westbound sides of the Mass Pike.

This period of work should be complete by 4 a.m. Friday, according to MassDOT.
