Traffic Advisory

Only the left travel lane of Route 495 southbound, south of exit 23C, in Marlborough is currently available for travel. The right and middle travel lanes, as well as the breakdown lane have been closed while Troopers investigate the circumstances of a fatal crash.

Preliminary investigation indicates that there was a crash involving a pedestrian and a vehicle and that pedestrian has been pronounced deceased by responding EMS personnel.

The lanes of the highway are expected to be closed for at least another hour, possibly longer, while the investigation proceeds.

A follow-up release will be issued at a later time. The identity of the pedestrian will not be released until proper family notification has been made.

Commuters are encouraged to seek alternative routes of travel.
