Memorial Day Travel: No Construction, Free Coffee Served
The Massachusetts Department of Transportation has released a list of its accommodations for drivers on one of the heaviest traffic weekends of the year. Here’s what driver’s can expect this Memorial Day Weekend, provided by MassDOT: Construction work on major roadways will be suspended between Friday, May 24 at noon and the start of business Tuesday, May 28. Free coffee will be served at 18 MassDOT service plazas between 10 p.m. Memorial Day, Monday, May 27 and 5 a.m. Tuesday, May 28. MBTA buses will operate on a Sunday schedule on Memorial Day, Monday, May 27. MassDOT recommends avoiding driving during peak traffic times, which are between 1 p.m. and 7 p.m. Thursday, Friday and Monday. A specific note on where traffic is heaviest, from MassDOT: “Traffic is especially heavy at the I-84 interchange at Exit 9 in Sturbridge on the Friday of Memorial Day weekend and at Exit 11A, I-495, which handles cars headed south to Cape Cod and north to New Hampshire and Maine. In 2012, the Friday before Memorial Day was the 13th busiest day on the Turnpike in terms of toll transactions with approximately 350,000 logged between I-95 and the New York Border.” SOUTH END PATCH: Facebook | Twitter | E-mail Updates South End Patch
Free EZ-Pass Transponders at AAA Offices
With the summer travel season coming up, the Massachusetts Department of Transportation wants drivers to cut back on cash and link up to the EZ-Pass system. MassDOT has joined AAA of Southern New England to make EZ-Pass transponders available at over 15 AAA offices, according to a press statement Thursday. According to the statement, there are still over 155,000 daily cash transactions on toll roads throughout Massachusetts. With the state heading toward a cashless toll system beginning with the removal of cash tollbooths on the Tobin Bridge in early 2014, state transportation officials are encouraging motorists to get ahead of the changes by enrolling in the EZ-Pass program early. “The availability of transponders at AAA branches is one way MassDOT is working to improve access to electronic toll collection so all motorists may enjoy the convenience of E-ZPass,” the MassDOT statement says.
