A chunk of Route 3 will be closed during nights from Feb. 13 through Feb. 17, the Department of Transportation announced today.
The work will start Monday night, Feb. 13, from 11 p.m. to 5 a.m. and will continue nightly until Friday morning, Feb. 17, at 5 a.m. The roadway will be open to traffic daily between the hours of 5 a.m. and 11 p.m.
The closures will be on Route 3 southbound from I-93 northbound - exit 18/19 (This is one exit ramp that splits further down the ramp. Exit 19 is Burgin Parkway in Quincy and exit 18 is Washington Street, Braintree - but the sign at the closure point says "exit 18 - 19")
Route 3 southbound from I-93 southbound, at exit 18/19 will also be closed.
This closure affects traffic bound for Burgin Parkway in Quincy and Washington Street in Braintree.
Both ramps to Burgin Parkway in Quincy and Washington Street in Braintree will be closed. Traffic is detoured to Route 3 southbound, exit 17 (Union St, Braintree) and will reverse direction at the Union St rotary back onto Route 3 northbound.
Drivers are instructed to take the Burgin Parkway exit off Route 3 northbound (exit 19). At that point the Burgin Parkway detour is complete.
Drivers wishing to go to Washington Street in Braintree are instructed to make a U-turn at the bottom of the Burgin Parkway exit and are directed to Washington St (end of detour).
