BOSTON– The Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) and the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) are announcing overnight closures of Storrow Drive eastbound and Soldiers Field Road eastbound from North Harvard Street to Mugar Way in Boston. The closure will be in place weekly, Sunday night, through Thursday night, from 8:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m. the following morning, beginning Sunday, April 5, and continuing through August. These closures are required to accommodate interim concrete ceiling repairs for the Storrow Drive tunnel maintenance project.

Work restrictions will be implemented as necessary to minimize impacts during significant local events, such as concerts and events at Fenway, TD Garden, as well as during the FIFA World Cup and MA250 celebrations.

A detour will be in place from North Harvard Street over the Anderson Bridge to Memorial Drive in Cambridge, and into Boston using the Longfellow Bridge.

For more information on the Storrow Drive tunnel maintenance project, please visit the project website.

Appropriate signage, law enforcement details, and advanced message boards will be in place to guide drivers through the work area.

Drivers who are traveling through the area should reduce speed and use caution.

The schedule for this work is weather dependent and is subject to change without notice.
