This is an update to an earlier story.

WEST SPRINGFIELD - A 79-hour shutdown of two overpasses carrying Memorial Avenue over U.S. Route 5 in West Springfield, originally planned for this weekend, has been postponed to July 10 at 10 p.m. through July 14 at 5 a.m. due to the prediction of inclement weather, including heavy rain and high winds.

MassDOT will send a reminder notice, including planned detour routes and road closure information in advance of the shutdown.
