BOSTON — From Nov. 4 to Nov. 6, the Massachusetts Department of Transportation will be demolishing the existing Highland Avenue Bridge over Interstate 95.
In order to keep drivers safe from the operation, MassDOT will close a portion of the expressway during the demolition.
"If you have to travel during the peak times on Saturday and Sunday, please allow extra time as we are expecting delays to occur," said Walter Heller with MassDOT.
