Traffic shift at I-90/I-495 interchange starts Thursday, more ramp closures planned

by | Aug 21, 2026 | News

The Massachusetts Department of Transportation will close more ramps overnight next week at the Interstate 90/Interstate 495 interchange in Hopkinton and shift traffic on I-90 eastbound.

The I-90 eastbound ramp to I-495 northbound (Exit 106) will be closed overnight Monday-Thursday. While the closure is in place, traffic will be directed on to I-495 southbound to West Main Street in Hopkinton (Exit 54A) to reverse direction to I-495 northbound.

The ramp to I-90 westbound and eastbound (Exit 58) also will be closed during the same time period. The detour will divert traffic up I-495 northbound to Route 9 westbound (Exit 59B). Drivers can reverse direction to I-495 southbound to access I-90.

Traffic on I-90 eastbound will shift to a new alignment starting Thursday evening. Temporary lane closures will be in place beginning at 8 p.m. on Thursday until 5 a.m. on Friday while the shift is completed. At least one travel lane will remain open at all times. The alignment is expected to remain in place until mid-2027 to accommodate the third phase of the Railroad Bridge construction.

Work hours are 11 p.m.-5 a.m. Appropriate signage and law enforcement details will be in place. Drivers should anticipate delays and exercise caution while traveling through work zones.

For more information on traffic conditions, drivers can visit the Mass511 website, which features travel times and real-time traffic.
