More I-290 Exit Closures: Construction On Bridge To Mass Pike
The closure of the exit from I-290 to the Mass Pike began on Sunday and will continue through the end of the week.
WORCESTER, MA — Construction on the bridge that takes drivers from I-290 to the Mass Pike will continue this week, which means nightly closures through Friday morning, according to MassDOT.
The construction project is focused on the bridge that carries southbound I-290 traffic to Route 12 and access to both the east and westbound lanes of I-90. That I-290 ramp will be closed nightly from about 8 p.m. to the following morning at 5 a.m.
Here are the closures this week, according to MassDOT:
Nightly through Feb. 22:
- When the I-290 westbound off-ramp to I-90 (exit 12A) is closed, traffic will be directed to take exit 12B and follow the detour signs for Route 12 to access I-90 eastbound and westbound.
Additional closure on Feb. 21:
- When traveling along Route 12 northbound in the vicinity of the bridge, traffic will be detoured right onto Prospect Street and will need to follow the detour signs in place.
- When traveling along Route 12 southbound in the vicinity of the bridge, traffic will be detoured left onto Church Street and will need to follow the detour signs in place.
