I-93 Southbound Closing Overnight Ahead of Expected Full Reopening © Provided by New England Cable News
All southbound traffic on Interstate 93 in Medford will be stopped at 10 p.m. Wednesday night, with two lanes reopening Thursday morning, the Massachusetts Department of Transportation said.
Also Wednesday night at 9 p.m., two lanes on the northbound side of I-93 were set to close, according to transportation officials. They were expected to reopen at 5 a.m. as well.
The overnight shutdown is being done so crucial repairs can be made after an over-height truck slammed into the eastbound overpass Monday. The highway was expected to be fully reopened at some point Thursday, though with more work left to be done over the coming months.
