Please join the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) for a presentation on the upcoming major construction activities for the Commonwealth Avenue Bridge Replacement Project. MassDOT and project team staff will describe the Summer 2017 Construction Shutdown (July 26 – August 14) in more detail, review detour routes, and respond to questions. During the shutdown, there will be significant service impacts to all modes of transportation along Commonwealth Avenue in the BU/Saint Paul Street neighborhood and on I-90 (Mass Pike).
The project will replace the concrete deck and steel beams that carry Commonwealth Avenue and the MBTA Green “B” Line over I-90 and the MBTA Commuter Rail. The replacement will restore the deteriorating bridge while adding functional and safety improvements, including utility relocations, dedicated bike lanes, and extensive pedestrian upgrades.
The same presentation will be delivered in Newton on July 13, so participants may choose the most convenient date or location.
