I-91 Lane Reductions, Ramp Closures and Detour Routes

Traffic in and around downtown Springfield is currently being rerouted in several directions, to allow for construction and repairs on Interstate 91. The I-91 Viaduct Rehabilitation Project involves lane and ramp closures on the I-91 viaduct, and offers associated detour routes. Work has already begun in order to facilitate travel through the surface streets of downtown Springfield, which will see an increase in local traffic. For the convenience of our clients, directions to access our Springfield office are provided below. We will make every effort to keep this information current throughout the duration of the I-91 Viaduct Rehabilitation Project. Please allow for extra travel time, as heavier traffic into and out of the City of Springfield is expected, particularly during peak hours. As always, free parking is available for Bacon Wilson clients in the firm’s lot at 33 State Street.
