State police said a manhole cover in the left lane of I-93 near the exit of the O'Neill Tunnel became dislodged and airborne, striking the woman's car.
The car continued on I-93 until it crashed into a wall near East Berkeley Street.
The victim was identified as Caitlin Clavette, of Arlington. It is believed she died instantly.
Clavette grew up in Winchester and was an Glover Elementary School art teacher in the Milton Public Schools, according to the district.
"Miss Clavette was very nice," said Anthony Dragone, her student. "When we did well, she would give us stickers. We were very close to her."
What caused the manhole to become dislodged is part of the ongoing investigation, state police said.

"The big issue for everybody is our hearts and thoughts go out to a family that through an incredibly bizarre event lost someone today," Governor Charlie Baker said this afternoon.
The state took quick action, sending crews to inspect 500 manhole covers, grates and panels on highways in Boston and ensure all of the hardware was secure.
MassDOT reported Saturday inspections have concluded on roadways. Lanes and ramp areas of I-93 are now open.
So far, inspectors report no major issues.
The state said it checks manholes on highways every two years, and this manhole was last inspected in June of 2014. That Massachusetts inspection schedule is in line with a federal recommendation issued last year.
Sources say they've found no problems, like cracking or evidence of freezing, on the manhole and cover in the I-93 crash.
The only other identical incident they've uncovered was one in June 2014 in New York State.
A truck driver from Springfield, Mass was killed as he drove on the Cross Bronx Expressway.
A truck in front of him kicked up a manhole cover, sending it through his windshield.
