A little further away, but possibly impacting Melrose, starting today the DCR has closed the left lane closure on the Fellsway West southbound ramp from Roosevelt Circle to Fulton Street in Medford.

The lane closure is to accommodate the storage of a large piece of equipment that will be used by MassDOT in the demolition of the I-93 northbound bridge over Fellsway West (Rte. 28). The demolition is part of the MassDOT I-93 . The lane closure will remain in place until Friday, June 24.
