As the River Street Reconstruction approaches substantial completion this fall, several traffic pattern changes will be taking effect. Over the next few months, workers will install new signage, paving and street markings, including a new dedicated bus-only lane. This work will happen in sections rather than all at once. At the end of construction, River Street will have sidewalks, a parking and loading lane, one general-purpose travel lane, a dedicated bus-only lane, and a sidewalk-level bike lane.

City of Cambridge Street Performer permits are issued by the Cambridge Arts Council located at 344 Broadway, 2nd floor
