Traffic should be normal for Monday morning commute following Mass Pike closure, MassDOT says
Officials with the Massachusetts Department of Transportation said traffic should be "normal" Monday morning after weekend closures on the Mass Pike caused lots of disruptions and frustration for drivers.
Construction on a new bridge has reduced traffic to one lane in both directions on a two-mile stretch of the Mass Pike on the Newton-Weston town line. All weekend long, traffic has been bumper to bumper in this area. It's all part of a massive bridge replacement project by the I-95 interchange.
To take a live look at the current delays, head to the Mass 511 map.
State Highway Administrator Jonathan Gulliver told WBZ-TV that the traffic will speed back up Monday morning when all the lanes are reopened.
"That commute tomorrow should be pretty good for you after 5 a.m., once the road is fully restored," said Gulliver. "I'd expect a little bit of residual traffic to clear through and then should be a normal Monday morning commute any time after 5:15, 5:30."
Gulliver advised commuters to delay the start of their day until after the roads reopen at 5 a.m.
A second weekend of closures is planned for Friday, June 20, at 9 p.m. until Monday, June 23, at 5 a.m.

Juneteenth celebrated at Brookline block party, "something very beautiful "
Across the nation, many people spent the day celebrating Juneteenth, which commemorates the official end of slavery in the U.S. In Massachusetts, there were multiple events on Thursday. In Roxbury, people paraded in the streets, and on Beacon Hill, tourists walked the iconic Freedom Trail. "Highlighting this history" "We're really highlighting this community, highlighting this history because I think it gets overshadowed by the other revolution, which is the American Revolution in Boston," said David Coviello, the Occupation Director of Hub Town Tours. In Brookline, people celebrated the holiday by enjoying a free block party filled with food, games, and a mechanical bull at the Florida Ruffin Ridley School. Chandra Craven was one of those in attendance. "This is the day where America can really say for truth that this is when we were truly free," she said. On June 19, 1865, enslaved African American people in Galveston, Texas, received the news that they were free, two years after Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation. "It wasn't 100%," Craven emphasized. "But it is closer to the ideals of our Declaration of Independence, it's closer to the ideals of the Constitution that we all live by." Federal holiday Craven says she's always celebrated Black culture, even before Juneteenth became a federal holiday in 2021. Tanya Boyd remembers a time when it wasn't recognized at all. "Growing up, we never got Juneteenth celebrated," she said. "We never got the day off work or anything like that. So, I'm glad that it's become known nationwide as an actual holiday." "I'll be honest, I didn't know it was a holiday until maybe five or six years ago, and I taught American history," Coviello admitted. That's exactly why Adena Walker says she created the annual block party, which supports Black businesses, Black artistry, and advocacy. "It is something very beautiful that I get to bring back to the city and like I always knew existed," Walker said. "To show other people that we are here, we are very present. There are so many various communities to be a part of, and shine, and bring that authenticity."
