Stage 1: October 28th – November 22nd

During the demolition and roadway reconstruction process, vehicles will be channelized into lanes and guided through the construction work zone with barrels, barriers, and signage.

Stage 1: During the first stage of demolition and reconstruction, the travel lanes on the outside portions of the toll plazas will be used to accommodate traffic while the interior portion of the toll plaza area is being demolished.

Travel Tips and Resources

MassDOT is moving to all electronic tolling to improve safety, relieve traffic congestion, and reduce greenhouse gases. During this transition process, drivers will need to travel at reduced speeds in work zones.

MassDOT is asking drivers to allow extra time to reach their destinations, demonstrate common courtesies when merging and changing lanes of travel, minimize distractions such as the use of cell phones, and consider travel at off-peak hours or travel on mass transit.
