The route 12 to 190 on ramp closure was announced as a 45 day closure which started on the 5th. So like 24-25 more days?!?
Edit: This article says it starts on the 4th but it didn't actually start that day.

Idk but the split between 190 and Burncoat heading north is terrible. They should do one lane left, and one lane right, not one lane going both ways and another one squeezing into it. KnowwhatImean?

How about Salisbury St? Horrible traffic, especially in the afternoon. Hope it doesn’t go on much longer.

It's been like this at least as long as I've been driving (10 years). I feel like it just shifts to a slightly different spot over there every 6 months or so.

It literally never ends, they patch a hole then come back the next year for another.

I think others have given OP the answer.
But seriously, without hyperbole (and I should say, also without a shred of actual evidence), it seems to me that between the start of 190 at the Rt. 2 split in Leominster and the end of 290 at 395 in Auburn, I cannot think of a time since the 90's when there hasn't been construction somewhere along that route.
I'm sure someone can prove me wrong factually. It just feels that way trying to think back.
If you include the section of 290 from the 190 split out to 495, then fuck it. I have to be right. Right?

It never ends. It's just brief pauses between more road work.
