Tunnel to Boston Logan Airport to close overnight Wednesday and Thursday
The tunnel that takes drivers from Boston's North End neighborhood to Logan Airport in East Boston is set to close overnight Wednesday and Thursday this week.
The Callahan Tunnel, which is part of Route 1A, is scheduled to be closed beginning at 11 p.m. on July 9 and reopen at 5 a.m. on July 10, according to the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT). It is also set to close at 11 p.m. on July 10 and reopen at 5 a.m. on July 12.
Drivers from I-93 south and the Haymarket on-ramp will be detoured to exit 16B to Surface Artery south, MassDOT said. Signs will also be posted to direct traffic through the Ted Williams Tunnel east, which takes drivers from South Boston to the airport via I-90.
'Appropriate signage, law enforcement details, and advanced message boards will be in place to guide drivers through the work area,' MassDOT wrote in a press release Wednesday afternoon.
The transportation department is closing the Callahan Tunnel to allow road crews to complete work on the Richmond Street Bridge, which is located in the North End, MassDOT said.
The transportation department advises following its social media account for traffic updates and checking for real-time traffic conditions.
