The Massachusetts Department of Transportation announced a new Interstate 495 on-ramp from Interstate 90 will open overnight next week.

In a notice, MassDOT revealed the new I-495 southbound on-ramp (Exit 106) from I-90 westbound is scheduled to open on Monday night. This will establish a new traffic pattern change for drivers on I-90. Traffic on accessing I-495 southbound will exit I-90 westbound first, followed by a second exit for drivers heading to I-495 southbound. Previously, all I-495 traffic would exit in one location.

Appropriate signage and law enforcement details will be in place to guide drivers through the new off-ramp system. Drivers should anticipate delays and exercise caution while traveling through work zones.
