The Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) announced it has implemented evening and overnight lane closures on the Tobin Bridge on Route 1 southbound on the upper deck’s left lane, from the Everett Avenue on-ramp to approximately the old toll plaza area. The closures will occur during the months of May and June, (and is a continuation of work that began last month.) The closures are occurring weekly, Mondays through Thursdays, starting each night at 6:00 p.m. and concluding the following day by 5:00 a.m. Two lanes of traffic will remain open at all times during these lane closures.
The lane closures are needed to support Tobin Bridge structural repairs and safety walk rehabilitation operations.
Advance warning signs will be used onsite to notify drivers about the planned closures and provide updates.
All scheduled work is weather dependent and subject to change without notice.
