Ware MA Bridge Closure Set to Disrupt Local Traffic Next Week

Drivers in Ware, Massachusetts, should prepare for major disruptions starting next week.

 

The Route 32 bridge over the Ware River faces a full closure for critical deck pouring work.

 

MassDOT officials confirmed the shutdown begins Monday, January 12, at 9 a.m.

 

This impacts Palmer Road and Old Belchertown Road, halting all traffic through Thursday, January 15, by 5 p.m.

 

Unlike recent one-lane restrictions, this phase demands a complete barrier removal for safety.

 

Local businesses along the route worry about reduced foot traffic during the busy post-holiday period.

 

Community leaders highlight how the upgrades will boost long-term safety over the Ware River.

 

Detours mirror previous setups, guiding traffic through nearby neighborhoods like those in Hampshire County.

 

Recent reports note similar overnight closures in the area for inspections and beam installations.

 

Ware residents recall last fall's delays, urging patience amid the ongoing project.

 

This work ties into broader infrastructure improvements, potentially easing future commutes to nearby towns.

 

With new developments in Ware, such as emerging real estate activity, smooth traffic flow remains vital.

 

Officials advise checking town resources for detailed maps and updates.

 

 

Stay tuned as this project progresses into 2026.
