The Democratic National Convention in Boston bringing in highway and lane closures, especially at I-93, from July 26 through 29, for security concerns. The Massachusetts Motor Transport Association has issued an advisory for commercial vehicle traffic.
MMTA has issued the following statements:
For the best traffic conditions, make deliveries between 2 a.m. – 6 a.m., and complete all deliveries by 10 a.m. if possible.
If you are carrying hazardous cargo, avoid Boston unless your delivery ends there.
Allow for extra time because there is an anticipated delay of 2 ½ hours, and all trucks will be inspected traveling I-93 north- and southbound from Braintree to Woburn.
No vehicles will be allowed within Causeway Street to Washington Street, to New Chardon to Merrimack after noon. If you need to make a delivery in this area after noon, park at Portsmouth and Ballenti Way and walk your deliveries in.
Tankers hauling hazmat liquids are not allowed through the tunnel on I-93, however, non-hazmat may pass.
