I-93 fyi

Just a heads up for those of you who will be driving up I-93 this Friday. Due to the widening project, there are several areas of construction. A lot has changed since many of you were up here last.

The biggest change is the lane configuration at exit 1 in Salem. Before, there were 4 lanes. Lane 1 was the far left, with lane 4 the far right. In that configuration, the far right (4th) lane would exit, and the next lane (3rd) over you could either exit or go straight and merge with the 2nd lane.

Now, there are only 3 lanes. Stay left in Lanes 1 and 2 to stay on 93. The far right lane now ENDS right at the exit.

I suspect due to this change that the traffic at exit 1 on Friday afternoon will be pretty bad.

Good luck! If you can, take Rt 3 and avoid I-93 altogether.
