Traffic Alert: Crane Accident on I-95 Southbound Causing Delays for Morgan Wallen Concert-Goers at Gillette Stadium
A crane accident on the southbound side of I-95 in Sharon, Massachusetts is causing significant traffic delays and may impact attendees heading to the Morgan Wallen concert at Gillette Stadium on Friday evening. The crane overturned near exit 19, obstructing a portion of the breakdown lane. The operator of the crane sustained non-life-threatening injuries. While all lanes of 95 South were initially closed, two lanes have since reopened, with the right lane expected to remain closed for several hours for cleanup.
The incident has resulted in a major traffic backup, with delays starting in Canton and drivers experiencing nearly 50 minutes of travel time to cover the 6.5-mile distance to the accident site. The gates at Gillette Stadium are set to open at 4:30 p.m. for the Wallen concert, scheduled to begin at 5:15 p.m. Additionally, a second show is planned at Gillette on Saturday at 5:15 p.m.
Further details about the situation are currently unavailable.
