BOSTON (WBZ NewsRadio) — The Massachusetts Department of Transportation announced it will be testing wrong-way vehicle detection systems throughout the commonwealth that will cause some overnight traffic restrictions starting Sunday night.

Lane and ramp closures will take place from 10 P.M. to 4 A.M. beginning November 13, through Friday, November 18 in Bernardston, Burlington, Danvers, Plymouth, and Webster, according to MassDOT.

Drivers should expect delays and speed reductions in the following areas while restrictions are in place:

Bernardston: I-91 northbound and southbound, exit 50 at Route 10

Burlington: I-95 northbound and southbound, exit 50B at Middlesex Turnpike

Danvers: Route 128 northbound and southbound, exit 43 at Route 62

Plymouth: Route 3 northbound and southbound, exit 13 at Long Pond Road

Webster: I-395 northbound and southbound, exit 1 at Route 193

The restrictions are in place as a part of a $2.6 million pilot program to install wrong-way detection systems at 16 ramp locations throughout the state. MassDOT said they expect the project to be complete by spring 2023.
