During a press conference earlier this afternoon, MassDOT Highway Supervisor Jonathan Gulliver said officials hoped to have one lane on the Pike's westbound side open by about 2 p.m.; however, that side of the road remained closed as of 2:45 p.m.

The westbound side of the Mass Pike was closed at the Route 495 interchange in Hopkinton after a large crack was seen in the highway. Drivers should expect traffic delays as crews make emergency repairs to the road, the Massachusetts Department of Transportation said.

At least one lane on Mass Pike was set to open at 2 p.m. Friday, with the rest of the lanes planned to open around 8 p.m.
