DANVERS, MA — Drivers from Danvers and Peabody looking to get on Route 128 northbound from Route 114 will need a workaround on weekdays through February. The state Department of Transportation said the ramp from Route 114 west to Route 128 north will be closed weekdays from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. beginning Monday so crews can install the foundation for a sound barrier on the edge of the ramp. Traffic on Route 114 westbound will be detoured onto adjacent ramps to the Route 114/128 interchange to access Route 128. Those traveling in the area during weekdays should expect delays, reduce speed and use caution. Message signs, safety signs and traffic control devices will be used to send drivers to the detour. The work is being conducted as part of a $24.7 million project to reconstruct the bridge carrying Route 128 over the Waters River. Did you find this article useful?
