Why
is this Project Necessary? |
|
| |
The
planning process for the Cambridgeport
Roadways Project initially began
in the mid-1990s, and was focused
on protecting residential neighborhoods
from traffic created by increasing
levels of commercial development
in the eastern part of the city.
To learn more about the roadway
design, please visit the Community
Development Department's website
at http://www.cambridgema.gov/~CDD/et/infra/cport/cport.html.
The planned renovation of roadways
in the area provided an opportunity
to enhance drainage utilities
and separate combined sewer
systems, which lack sufficient
capacity to handle certain rain
storms.

|
What
is Being Done to Fix the Problem?
|
|
| |
The
sewer separation and stormwater
management work in Cambridgeport
involves increasing the capacity
of the stormwater drainage system
and elimination of ten common
manholes.
These improvements will reduce
periodic sewer back ups and
overflow of sewage into the
Charles River. |

Who
is Responsible for the Project?
|
|
| |
The
City of Cambridge’s Community
Development Department and the
Department of Public Works jointly
sponsored the Cambridgeport
Roadways & Stormwater Improvements
Project.
Since much of the funding for
this project will be provided
by the
Massachusetts
Highway Department,
they are responsible for monitoring
the performance of day-to-day
construction activities.
