I-91
All traffic (northbound and southbound) has been shifted onto the new bridge structure, with two lanes of traffic in both directions!
In the interest of worker and public safety, right lane closures throughout the southbound roadway will be installed as needed for demolition and remaining shoulder work. Northbound lane or shoulder closures may also be installed as needed for punchlist work. Please follow advanced warning signs.

The speed limit on Route 30 near the work zone has been reduced to 40 mph. Project-related truck activity on Route 30 will continue. Route 30 may be reduced to a single lane intermittently, with flaggers regulating traffic within the work zone.
The full closure of Route 30 at I-91 is complete, thank you for your patience.
