The Primary Alternate Route will begin at the Washington Street Rotary, travel east on Washington Street, turn north at West Roxbury Parkway and continue to VFW Parkway for the morning peak traffic and afternoon peak traffic. The Secondary Alternate Route begins at the VFW Parkway/Spring Street intersection and will follow Spring Street to Center Street, and turn north on to West Roxbury Parkway to VFW Parkway. The alternate routes will be signed in both the outbound and inbound directions.
