MassDOT Announces Emergency Bridge Repairs On Route 3

PLYMOUTH, MA—The Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) has announced that it will be conducting overnight emergency bridge joint repairs on Route 3 over Samoset Street in Plymouth starting on Wednesday.

The work is scheduled to take place on Wednesday, December 2 and Thursday, December 3 from 8:00 p.m. until 5:00 a.m. and should be finished by Friday morning.

"The work will require intermittent lane closures to facilitate the required deck and joint repairs," said a press release from MassDOT. "Two lanes of traffic will remain open at all times. Standard traffic management plans will be used and police details will be on site to assist with traffic."
