UMass Medical School graduating students and their families may want to take note of a significant traffic change on the Mass Pike during Commencement weekend.
From 11:59 p.m. on Friday, June 2, to 5 a.m. on Monday, June 5, MassDOT will reduce I-90 (Mass Pike) between the Allston Interchange and the Beacon Street Overpass in Boston to 2 lanes in each direction to conduct a “dry run” of the I-90 traffic logistics for the 2017 Construction Shutdown. The I-90 Eastbound on-ramp from Cambridge Street and the I-90 Westbound Exit 20 off-ramp to Brighton/Cambridge will also be closed intermittently.
This project replaces the Commonwealth Avenue Bridge that carries the MBTA Green “B” Line over the Massachusetts Turnpike and the MBTA Commuter Rail line in Boston.
