Get Ready For Traffic Jams

Starting Thursday morning, cars entering Route 34 Westbound will no longer be able to get off at Exit 2, between Church and College Streets.

It’s all part of the Downtown Crossing Project, an effort to turn a mini-highway into a series of new developments that knit downtown back together with the Hill neighborhood.

As of Thursday morning, cars will be directed to Exit 1 instead of Exit 2. 

At Exit 1, you can either turn right on Orange Street or continue on MLK Boulevard (formerly North Frontage Road) to the intersection with Church Street. At that intersection, you can turn right or left on Church Street or continue straight on MLK Boulevard.

The closure, originally planned for Tuesday, was delayed due to bad weather. It may be delayed again if more thunderstorms come through.

For more info, visit the Downtown Crossing website, or check out these instructional videos (complete with classic-rock soundtrack):
