East Boston highway sees 1 southbound lane reopen on Tuesday, 1 day after bus crash
One lane has reopened on Route 1A South in East Boston on Tuesday, over a day after a bus crash took down two transformers and three light poles, Boston police said in a post on X.
While one lane reopened on the highway, also known as the McClellan Highway, work is still being done and travelers should expect delays, Boston police spokesperson Sgt. John Boyle told MassLive.
The southbound side of the highway was closed after a crash around 5:39 a.m., according to Boston police.
The closure caused heavy traffic delays in and around Boston Logan International Airport and reopened to allow for traffic to leave Boston on Monday afternoon.
Several people were aboard the bus when it crashed and caused two transformers and at least three light poles to come down by 175 William F. McClellan Hwy, police said. Two people were hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries.
