WORCESTER – Getting to Vernon Hill from I-290 may soon take a few more minutes than usual.
Beginning Monday, June 8, the left-hand turn from I-290 Westbound off-ramp at Exit 13 for Vernon St. and Kelley Square will be permanently eliminated.
All drivers will be forced to take a right-hand turn and enter the new peanut-shaped roundabout to travel up Vernon Street towards Vernon Hill.
According to MassDOT, this will help facilitate the flow of traffic towards and into the roundabout.
