A left lane closure is also in place on I-195 eastbound.
MassDOT said the closure is expected to remain in place for “several hours.”
Reports indicated that the wreckage of the plane was on fire and resting in the grassy median.
It wasn’t immediately clear if anyone was injured in the crash.
Because of the ongoing government shutdown, the Federal Aviation Administration wasn’t able to comment on the crash.
“Due to a lapse in funding, the FAA is not responding to routine media inquiries,” a statement shared with Boston 25 read.
The crash came on a day when wind gusts up to 55 mph and rainfall totals up to four inches were expected from the storm.
An investigation into the crash is ongoing.
