The construction to replace the Exit 67 ramp deck from I-95 northbound/I-295 southbound to Route 1 in Lawrence will begin this weekend, according to an announcement from DOT officials.
Exit 67 will be completely closed from about 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 14. The ramp to Route 1 northbound will reopen Saturday evening, but the ramp to Route 1 southbound will remain closed for approximately eight weeks.
According to the DOT, the closure allows the contractor—South State, Inc.—to preform stage 1 of the construction project, which involves the demolition and replacement of the ramp deck leading to Route 1 southbound.
On Saturday, motorists on I-95 northbound/I-295 southbound attempting to use Exit 67 will be detoured to Exit 65A—Sloan Avenue in Hamilton—then directed onto I-295 northbound where they will use Exit 67B to access Route 1.
The construction was originally scheduled to begin last Saturday, but it was delayed due to the snow.
The southbound I-295 Exit 67 will be closed this weekend.,
