Ramp closing, 6 months: Exit 2, I-395 North

Beginning March 15 or immediately
thereafter 

WEBSTER - Beginning March 15 or immediately thereafter, the on-ramp to I-395 North at Exit 2 from Gore Road (Rt. 16) will be closed for bridge repair and painting. Webster DPW Director J. T. Gaucher said traffic will be detoured north to Sutton Road and then Cudworth Road to the next ramp for I-395 North at Exit 3. He said the detour will be posted clearly with orange signs warning motorists of the ramp closure and guiding them along the detour.

While work beneath the bridge is being performed, the contractor is required to keep all lanes open from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. Work on the bridge will begin in the early morning hours and go to 3 p.m., a long dayshift. Mr. Gaucher said the contractor will try to maintain one lane open in each direction as often as possible. The work is expected to take six months.

The Exit 2 project is part of the bridge rehabilitation plan for seven bridges along I-395, including the four in Webster, two of which have been completed. The project is funded and managed by the Massachusetts Department of Transportation. Cardi Corporation is the contractor.
