Route 93 Overnight Lane Closure On The Way

The southbound lane will be closed to traffic for maintenance overnight Aug. 6-7.

If you’re planning on driving on I-93 through Boston overnight Aug. 6 you’ll probably want to plan an alternate route.

Maintenance on the roadway will require a complete shutdown of the southbound lane beginning Tuesday, Aug. 6 at 11 p.m. and ending Wednesday, Aug. 7 at 5 a.m., according to the Massachusetts Department of Transportation.

Southbound traffic will be detoured off the highway at Route 38/Mystic Avenue in Somerville and allowed to re-enter at the Albany Street on-ramp.
