Tip O’Neill Tunnel southbound will be closed Tuesday night
The I-93 southbound lanes will be shut down to traffic overnight on Aug. 19 to make way for “multiple maintenance activities,” MassDOT said in a statement.
The southbound stretch of I-93 in the Tip O’Neill Tunnel will be closed overnight Tuesday to allow for maintenance work, according to MassDOT.
The transportation department announced last week that the shutdown will start at 11 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 19 and continue until 5 a.m. Wednesday morning. The I-93 southbound lanes will be closed starting at exit 20 (Sullivan Square). Access points to the southbound lanes, including from Route 1 (Tobin Bridge), Storrow Drive, and other tunnel on-ramps will also be closed.
Access to I-93 southbound will be maintained from Albany Street, according to MassDOT.
During the closure, crews will be working on “multiple maintenance activities,” officials said.
