A lane closure on the Mass Pike east near Worcester is expected to cause delays during the Monday evening commute, according to MassDOT.
The right lane on I-90 east at mile marker 80.6 in Charlton was closed Monday afternoon due to a tractor-trailer crash and is expected to remain closed through the evening commute, MassDOT said in a press release. Drivers are advised to seek alternative routes and avoid the area if possible.
A truck tow is scheduled to come get the tractor-trailer around 8 p.m., so drivers should expect delays on I-90 east around Charlton throughout the evening, MassDOT spokesperson Jacquelyn Goddard posted on social media.
Additional lane closures may be required Monday night to allow for a full cleanup of the crash, MassDOT said. The state transportation department advises drivers to follow its social media account for the latest updates on traffic conditions.
The tractor-trailer went through the guard rail and into the wood line off the highway shortly before 2 p.m. Monday, according to Massachusetts State Police. The driver was not injured in the crash and declined medical attention.
