MassHighway plans to relieve congestion on I-93 by constructing a new interchange
between Interchanges 41 and 42 and adding one travel lane in each direction between
this area and Interstate 495. The project team is coordinating with regional planning
agencies, the state's I-93 Working Group, the Tri-Town Development Task Force and others to
ensure the project is sensitive to the communities' visions and plans.
