The Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) 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.
