Overnight Road Work Will Closes Lanes In Woburn

From MassDot: The Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) has announced that there will be temporary overnight lane closures and rolling roadblocks on Route 128/95 northbound in Woburn between Exit 34 (Winn Street) and Exit 35 (Route 38) on the evening of Sunday, December 16.

The varying lane closures will be in place between 10:00 p.m., and 5:00 a.m., and rolling road blocks will be utilized after midnight as needed. All lanes will be re-opened for travel by 5:00 a.m. Monday morning. These temporary off-peak traffic impacts are necessary to allow crews and contractors to safely and effectively install new overhead variable message sign structures.

Signs, traffic control devices and law enforcement details will be used to guide drivers through the work zone. MassDOT encourages drivers to reduce speed and use caution while approaching and traveling through the work zone and to allow for extra time through this area. All work is weather dependent and is subject to change without notice.

The work is being conducted as part of a $2.8 million project to install new variable message signs and related Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) components along various highways.
