NEWTON, Mass. — Overnight lane closures on Route 9 eastbound and westbound in Brookline and Newton are slated to begin on Sunday and last for 3 1/2 months, MassDOT said this week.

The closures are scheduled to begin on Sunday night, July 27, from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. the following morning.

These closures will continue on a Sunday night through Thursday night schedule for approximately 3 1/2 months, state transportation officials said.

These overnight closures are required to support resurfacing and roadway repairs on Route 9 in Brookline and Newton, officials said.

The work includes “reconstructing non-compliant sidewalks, updating signs and pavement markings, widening the median cut-through at Route 9 and Woodcliff Road, and milling and paving the bridges carrying Route 9 over Centre Street and Hammond Pond Parkway,” in addition to other work, officials said.
