I-95 Lane Closures In Waltham: MassDOT

WALTHAM, MA—If you are driving this week along Route 128 or I-95, between Third Avenue and Totten Pond Road, watch for lane closures, as crews prep for construction along that stretch from Friday to Monday morning.

In June the same stretched was closed for a few days as crews began to clear trees and earth to get ready for the construction on the exit 27A on and off-ramps.

In 2011 there was a $23 million project to reconstruct and expand the Route 128/I-95 Exit 27A-B interchange with Winter Street/Totten Pond Road in Waltham.

The latest work is part of a private access permit project. This project is reconstructing northbound exit 27A on and off-ramps and road between exits 27A and 27B in Waltham.

Here's what to watch for:

I-95/Route 128 North Bound Collector Road: There will be alternating closures of the right and left lanes between exits 27A and 27B (Third Avenue/Totten Pond Road/Winter Street) in Waltham from 7 a.m. on Friday through 5 a.m. on Monday.

The off ramp from I-95 NB to Third Avenue (exit 27A): The off ramp will be closed from 9 a.m. on Friday, through 5 a.m. on Monday. Traffic will be detoured either to I-95 NB exit 27B (Totten Pond Road/Winter Street) or to I-95 NB exit 28 (Trapelo Road).

The on ramp from Winter Street to I-95 Northbound: The ramp will be closed from 9 p.m. on Friday through 5 a.m. Sept. 28. Traffic will be detoured to Wyman Street to access I-95 NB.

The off ramp from I-95 Northbound to exits 27A/B in Waltham: The ramp will be closed from 9 p.m. on Friday through 12 p.m. on Saturday. Traffic will be detoured to exit 28B (Trapelo Road).
