Expect delays if you’re traveling on I-190 northbound in Worcester on Wednesday and Thursday morning, MassDOT said.

Crews will be working on deck sealing operations for the bridge carrying I-190 northbound over the Providence and Worcester Railroad on Wednesday and Thursday, MassDOT said in a statement Tuesday.

During the work, there will be a double lane closure on I-190 northbound in the vicinity of the bridge, between the hours of 6 a.m. to 12 p.m.

“Drivers who are traveling through the affected areas should expect delays, reduce speed, and use caution,” MassDOT said.

The Exit 1 (Route 12 Gold Star Boulevard) off-ramp will remain open throughout the duration of the work.

The I-190 northbound daytime lane closures are necessary to allow crews and contractors to safely and effectively conduct construction operations, MassDOT said. Appropriate signage, law enforcement details, and messaging will be in place to guide drivers through the work area.

All scheduled work is weather dependent and subject to change without notice.
