According to MassDOT, there will be temporary lane and shoulder closures in place on Route 24, both northbound and southbound, during the maintenance. It may be down to one travel lane during those times.

Drivers should expect delays and reduced speed in the work zones.

The work is also dependent on weather conditions.
