The Massachusetts Department of Transportation is testing its Wrong Way Vehicle Detection Systems this week in areas across the state, which is set to cause some overnight lane and ramp closures.
The work is part of a $2.6 million pilot program that will have the systems installed at 16 ramp locations across the Bay State. The project is expected to wrap up this spring.
Here's where drivers should expect traffic impacts this week, which are planned from 10 p.m. through 4 a.m.
- Barnstable: Route 6 eastbound and westbound exit 68 at Route 132 on Monday, Feb. 13, through Tuesday morning Feb. 14
