I-93 ramp closed in Medford; Danvers ramp reopens on Route 1

By Matt Collette, Globe Correspondent

A ramp onto Interstate 93 in Medford has been closed this afternoon for emergency repairs, according to the State Police.

The ramp from Mystic Avenue onto I-93 was closed at 2:10 p.m. while the state highway department inspected and repaired what was described by State Police as a "protruding bridge joint." Additional information was not available.

In Danvers, a ramp off northbound Route 1 has reopened after being closed when a modular home fell off the back of a tractor-trailer, State Police said.

The ramp to Route 62 west was closed for roughly an hour after the accident at 2:45 p.m. The home slid off the truck, but landed on the grass so it was not significantly damaged, police said.
