You
should know:
The
left lane of Route 110 east and westbound under I-95 in Amesbury will be closed
overnight on Monday, June 8 through Thursday, June 11.
Drivers
are encouraged to avoid the area and seek alternate routes to minimize delays.
Those traveling through the area should expect delays and should reduce speed
and use caution.
The closures will allow
MassDOT to demolish the existing pier and perform construction work. Built in 1951, the
bridge over the Merrimack River connects Newburyport and Amesbury. When the project is complete, the new bridge
cross section will include four travel lanes, a high speed shoulder and a
breakdown lane in each direction. Four adjacent bridges are being replaced or
reconstructed along a 3.5 mile segment to accommodate a widened Interstate 95 from Exit 57 in Newburyport to Exit 59 in
Salisbury.
