WHAT IS HAPPENING?
In May and June of 2025, MassDOT will replace the
I-90 bridge over the MBTA Worcester Commuter Rail
in Newton, MA. Accelerated Bridge Construction
methods will be used to replace the bridge over
two weekends to minimize impacts to the public.
WHEN WILL THIS AFFECT YOU?
The First Rapid Replacement Weekend
Friday May 30, 2025 9 p.m. to
Monday June 2, 2025 5 a.m.
The Second Rapid Replacement Weekend
Friday June 20, 2025 9 p.m. to
Monday June 23, 2025 5 a.m.
TRAVEL IMPACTS
Highway: As vehicles approach the bridge,
Eastbound and Westbound travel lanes will be
reduced from three lanes to one. After passing
through the work zone, vehicles will return to
the normal traffic pattern along I-90. Significant
traffic impacts will be felt between Boston and
Framingham.
Commuter Rail: Buses will replace the last
Worcester Commuter Rail train on Friday and
replace all trains on Saturday and Sunday along
the Worcester Commuter Rail Line between
Framingham and South Station.
Amtrak: Buses will replace the last Amtrak train on
Friday, all trains on Saturday and Sunday, and the
first train on Monday along the Lake Shore Limited
Route between Boston and Albany
TRAVEL TIPS
Drivers should expect significant delays on
I-90 during these weekends. If possible, drivers
should plan ahead, avoid the area, and seek an
alternate route.
