MassDOT Traffic Advisory

February 15, 2016

• Overnight Lane Closure along Massachusetts Ave. at Porter Square in Cambridge Tuesday, February 16th

• Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) crews will be closing the right lane of Massachusetts Ave. Rte. 2A SB Bridge over the Red Line at Porter Square to perform bridge deck repairs Tuesday night, February 16th starting at 8 PM lasting through 5 AM on Wednesday, February 17th.

• Traffic will be restricted to one lane in the southbound direction. Pedestrians will be directed to the northbound side of the bridge, and the access to the T Station platform will be maintained.

• The work will involve equipment noise as jackhammering is necessary to excavate the bridge deck; however, MassDOT anticipates that the jackhammering will be completed by midnight.

• Motorists should plan ahead and expect delays during the overnight work hours. MassDOT reminds those traveling in the vicinity to reduce speed and use caution.

The work will be subject to weather conditions.
